RMMX75CA–This is a close-up of the human skulls carved in stone by Mayans on a corner of the Tzompantli ruin at the ancient archaeological site of Chichen Itza on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Better known as the Wall of Skulls or the Skull Platform (Plataforma de los Cráneos), this was the public place for carrying out human sacrifices and also displaying the heads of dead enemies as a warning to potential invaders. Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities in pre-Columbian times and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and major Mexican tourist attraction. Historical photograph.
