Ginger on pyramid






Here is Ginger at the top of the pyramid. The stairs are quite steep and it was scary going down. At various levels on the pyramid, there are platforms and rooms. From one such area, I took this picture of Ginger in the distance about halfway down the pyramid. She's in the red hat. Also, I took a couple of pictures off of the one side that you could walk around. You can see the chultun built into the side of the pyramid in the clearing. There were apparently residential areas built into this pyramid as well as ceremonial areas. It's cool. I imagine families of royals could have actually lived in this pyramid without ever having to climb down it (as long as people would bring food, I guess). And what's the point of being disgustingly elite if the common people won't bring you food?
