425 - 13th - Witnessing history

Palenque is one of the most fascinating archeological ruins I have ever visited. We reached the place before it opened and were one of the first people to enter the site as soon as the gates were set free. You could feel the energy the place possessed as soon as you stepped in. Not evening a single human being in front of you and just bare pyramids and open fields lying ahead, made you feel you have entered into a some other world. A world where the stones speak for themselves and the kings tell their stories through the glyphs, paintings and pyramids.

An experience which changed forever the way I looked at archeology and to be more specific - at the Mayas.
