Copan´s Ruins

Today we arrived at 9:30 a.m to Copan´s Ruins. Our guide was named Daniel. Today i learned that, with carbon 14 we can know the age of a body. " 18 Rabbit"  was a great governor  and was very powerful. If it didn´t rain in winter, the Mayans noble class made some sacrifices by playing the ball game. While i was taking notes about all what the guide was saying, i realized that the climate in Copan was very hot.


When the guide was speaking, he mentioned that in the movie "apocalypto", Mel Gibson made Mayas looked like a bloody civilization. He told us that Aztecs looked more like the ones that represented Mayan people in the movie. When i was walking around, i heard that other guide said that arqueologists didn´t work in some temples because ecologists didn´t want that some trees that grew in some temples be cut down. We entered some tunnels to look the original temple "Rosa Lila". Later we saw the replica of the temple Rosa Lila. Finally we went to see some sepultures, that were located two kilometers from Copan´s Ruins.

We returned very tired to the hotel. At 5:00 p.m we went to the pool and the jakuzzi. We spend one hour to relax and play some time with our friends. Later Luis talked about work in group, with us. Finally we went to take dinner and we really enjoyed the food!
