Palenque, Chiapas / Mexico - 21/07/2019: Detail of the archaeological pre hispanic mayan site of Palenque in Chiapas Mexico

Captured on November 2, 2018, in the mystical ruins of Yaxchilan, Chiapas, Mexico, Structure 33 of the Central Acropolis emerges as a breathtaking example of ancient Maya artistry. Dedicated in 756 by Bird Jaguar IV, this masterpiece overlooks both the sprawling Great Plaza and the river, underscoring its prominence for 8th-century fluvial trade. The building’s plain lower walls are marked by three doorways, each supported by the carefully preserved Yaxchilan Lintels 1 to 3. In the center of the back wall, a niche houses a headless sculpture—believed to represent Bird Jaguar IV—adding a layer of mystery to the structure. Topping the edifice is a largely intact, sloped roof that features an artfully carved frieze and a well-preserved roof comb with niches that once held sculpted figures adorned in stucco. A monumental stairway ascends from the plaza, culminating in the sculpted Hieroglyphic Stairway 2, a striking element that bridges ritual, history, and creative inspiration. This evocative portrayal invites viewers to journey through time and appreciate the sophisticated interplay between art, architecture, and legacy that defines ancient Yaxchilan.
