🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Hidden beneath the jungle canopy of Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico, the Temple of the Inscriptions rises in blood-red stone—a majestic Maya pyramid constructed around the 7th century CE to enshrine the tomb of King Pakal the Great. A secret stairway, concealed for centuries, descends steeply from the upper temple chamber to a crypt buried deep within the pyramid’s core.

Within this crypt lies Pakal’s elaborately carved sarcophagus, surrounded by stucco reliefs and cosmological symbols. The reconstruction above reveals its grandeur: a layered architectural marvel where ritual, rulership, and the underworld converge in stone and silence.

This was not merely a tomb—it was a cosmic gateway. When rulers became gods, how deep did they bury their secrets?
