Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Comalcalco - Looking down from the Palace. Temples VI and VII in front. Temples IIIA and III with Temple I in the back. Temple II is on the right side of the North Plaza. Comalcalco, Mexico
The literal English translation of "Comalcalco" is "In the house of the comals". A "comal" is a tortilla-pan. Although this is a name given by Aztecs, recently the Maya name has been deciphered and it is "JOY CHAN" (knotted ceiling). The Mayan ruins at Comalcalco are mystery to archeologists and other researchers studying the unique architectural style of the ancient city because of its use of a special type of kiln - brick technology. Other Mesoamerican of the Maya, were built using hand carved limestone blocks - not bricks. |
