most part the stones lie Just where they fell
In its entirety this section of the city must
have presented imposing appearance, being
literally forest OF columns surrounding and
connecting the various courts. AS to the use
of these great colonnades, tradition and his
tory are equally silent Some think that they
were the law courts OF the ancient city where
Justice administered and punishment
meted out Others say that they were the
market places, where the produce OF the sur
rounding country bought and sold. This
latter explanation has one strong recommenda
tion in its favor In that the descendants Of
the builders of the ancient city of Yucatan,
the present Maya Indians. still hold their mar
kets under the portals surrounding the plazas
in the towns and villages throughout the coun
try today.
South OF the Cenote Grande there are a num-
ber OF wellpreserved structures, most of them
presenting beautifully sculptured facades To
these fanciful names have been given, which
probably have little nothing to do with
the original uses of the buildings One large
structure, for example, has been called "The
Akabtzib" The name is Maya and means
The House of the Dark Writing" This build
Ing was SO called, because OF the fact that
over one of its interior doorways there is a
Intel inscribed with hierogyphs. This Intel
is SO placed that the hieroglyphics can only
be seen by artificial light, hence the name
THE House of the Dark Writing" Nearby is
a round tower, with but one exception the
only structure OF its kind In the Maya area
This is called "The Caraco" Caracol is the
Spanish word for snail. and since the interior
circular corridor and spiral stairway of this
structure bear some remote resemblance to the
conyolutions of a snail shell. the name was
applied to the building. The Manjos (Spanish
for monastery is perhaps the most beautiful
building at Chichen liza. 1t is composite
showing three different periods of construction
The above are only few of the many struc.
lures at Chichen Itza. But in all directions for
several miles the brush is strewn with ruins
Crumbling walls and jungleridden courts are
TO be encountered on every side; dsintegraton
so far advanced that these once splendid pal
aces and temples now but little more than
shapeless mounds of fallen masonry The total
area covered by ruins which may be assigned
to this center of primitive population has been
estimated by some as high as ten square miles.
That larger Maya cities yet remain to be dis.
covered now seem highly improbable so thor.
oughly has the general exploration of the area
been done Consequently we may affirm with
but little hesitation that THE Holy City of the
ltzas' was the largest and most important of
the Maya civilization and probably of abor.
fglnal America well.
