Talk:Tulum

message: "Tulum (bagpipe) is a Turkish folk instrument of the wind type. It consists of three parts with Deri Kısmı (leather section), Nav and Ağızlık (mouth piece). The air is stored in the leather section and is let into the nav section by pressing the bag under the arm. Nav is the part where the melody is played. It also has two parts called Analık and Dillik. Ağızlık is the section which sends the air to the leather bag of the pipe. 
Tulum is used in Turkey at Trabzon, Rize, Erzurum, Kars, Northern and Eastern Anatolian regions and at the Thrace region. Tulum, which is generally made from lamb or kid skin, is called Gayda in Thrace" .

:Thanks for noting an alternate use for the name "Tulum", anon contributor. I shall create a new article Tulum (instrument) for it (in original phrasing, of course), and note the disambiguation here.--cjllw | TALK 11:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Also the name of a Turkish musical instrument

message: Has there been thought in separating the entry for the town from the entry for the ruins.  I've seen a number of internal links that are clearly meant to be for the municipality, that instead are directed here.
This might not have been a problem five years ago.  I remember visiting in the late 90s and the town was miniscule.  Went back in Dec 2006 and it's a good sized town and a destination of its own...
Perhaps "Tulum (Pueblo)" or "Tulum (town)" should be created, while this get's re-named "Tulum (ruins)" or "Tulum (historical site)"?
Would love to hear feedback on this.

replies: text: If there is enough information for a seperate article about the town, spinning one off seems fine to me. I'd leave the ruins at "Tulum" as it is more famous, and the town developed and got its name from the ruins. -- Infrogmation 17:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  on closer inspection there's already a stub called Tulum (city).  When I get some time I'll try to flesh it out using what you have here for the city, and change the variety of links in wikipedia that are clearly aimed at the municipality to that (or else the disambiguation, which I updated).
Solidaridad, Quintana_Roo and Quintana Roo would be examples that are really meant for the municipality. T L Miles 20:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Town versus site? 

message: I've undone the recently performed merge of material on the pre-Columbian site (from this Tulum article) into the article (Tulum, Quintana Roo) on the modern township. 
These two are physically and historically distinct entities, and there's no need (indeed would be undesirable) to combine them into a single article. The two can of course cross-reference each other, but this article Tulum should be left to describe the pre-Columbian site, with Tulum, Quintana Roo describing the modern settlement, also known as 'Tulum Pueblo'. --cjllw ʘ TALK 04:07, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: You're right, it's clearly not meant to link to the famous dramatist. Instead should be Arthur G. Miller, distinguished faculty prof. of art history & archaeology at Univ. of Maryland. We don't have an article on him as yet, tho'; after clearing up the links I might set up a stub for the archaeologist. Thx for the catch. --cjllw ʘ TALK 00:12, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there any information available about a connection between astrology and architecture at Tulum?  It seems like a possibility since the town is on a cliff and faces East/West.

replies: text: The diving god is Venus. The temple has many Venus glyphs. The Heliacal rising of Venus was extremely important to the Maya. The Dresden codex has a table of this. It's quite likely that the temple was used to observe this since its location high above the sea was ideal for observing it. This is original research so it can't be used in the article unless someone can find a reliable source.  Senor Cuete (talk) 14:27, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

text: If anyone is able to do this you should go to the temple of the diving god on August 18, 2015 before sunrise and see if you can observe the heliacal rising of Venus over the sea in the glow of the rising sun.  Senor Cuete (talk) 18:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Astrology and Architecture at Tulum 

message: An IP user 203.134.34.199 posted the following in the article itself with regard to the "map of central Tulum" image. No idea if it's relevant/correct, but here it is anyway:
:This image is not consistent with other plan drawings nor with visual inspections of the site-in particular the entrances depicted around the north and south watchtowers do not exist . The road around the west wall is not correct in that it goes around the north wall to an entrance in its middle. This plan should be replaced with a correct one .I have not yet worked out how to properly question images so forgive me for posting this here.I assume you will put it in its correct place.
Additionally - the map is incorrectly labeled. Where it reads "Temple of Fresnos" it should read instead "Temple of the Frescoes" (see Coe, The Maya, seventh edition. new york: thames & hudson, 2005, p. 198)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robespierre2120 (talk • contribs) 16:06, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Greetings Wikipedians! Two issues with the four paragraphs about underwater archaeology:
*the language is identical to what I found in the Quintana Roo article, and has the same shortcomings. I fixed those issues in the Quintana Roo article today, and the same fixes would apply to the text that appears here. 
* the language about underwater archaeology doesn't really belong here in the first place. This is about the ruins. The caves where human remains were found are apparently not part of the ruins, although they are in the general Tulum area.
My suggestion: remove the language from this Tulum ruins article, and add a "See Also" section with a link that points the reader to the Quintana Roo article. If nobody objects, I will make those changes after some time has passed for discussion. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 14:16, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Apparently Tulum was conquered by the Spanish in the mid-1500s and then the indigenous Maya were enslaved by the Spanish. There was also a lot of piracy going on. This section really needs to be expanded. Nosferattus (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  History section lacking 

message: “ In 2020, an underwater archaeological expedition led by Jerónimo Avilés again excavated the cave and revealed the skeleton of a female about 30 years of age that lived at least 9,900 years ago. “
This is the only mention of a cave. Can anyone provide context? Tjobrien.seoul (talk) 19:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
