Murió al poco de mudarme yo a Alicante. Me impactó especialmente porque no pude estar al lado de una amiga que le conocía y le adoraba. Lamento su muerte cada vez que me viene a la mente, porque era un genio. Y aquí, Tino -Melenaza- Casal cantándole a twitter en 1984 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my gosh!
It's quite a skill to do so many things at once and still manage to jump into the car.
For those of us with an old car, we're guaranteed to have strong legs
Esta es una pieza verdaderamente impresionante. La Máscara de Calakmul es considerada una de las obras cumbres del arte maya y de la arqueología mesoamericana.
Para los mayas, el jade no solo era una piedra preciosa valiosa, sino el componente sagrado que simbolizaba el agua, la fertilidad, el renacimiento y el soplo de vida.
La máscara fue hallada en la Tumba 1 de la Estructura VII de la zona arqueológica de Calakmul, Campeche.
Perteneció a un soberano maya del periodo Clásico (se calcula que fue elaborada entre los años 600 y 700 d. C.) para asegurar su inmortalidad y su transformación en el inframundo.
Está formada por 119 fragmentos de jade, dos placas de concha gris y dos discos de obsidiana que dan vida a los ojos.
En el tocado y las orejeras se representa la cosmología maya, incluyendo al dios del maíz y los cuatro rumbos del universo.
Actualmente, esta joya del patrimonio mexicano se resguarda y exhibe en el Museo de Arquitectura Maya, Fuerte de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, en la ciudad de San Francisco de Campeche.

A 1,000-Year-Old Stone Mystery Hidden in the Andes! 🗿
Deep in Peru’s Sacred Valley, hidden among the mountains near Ollantaytambo, stands a mysterious rock-cut structure that continues to capture the imagination of archaeologists and visitors. Known as Ñaupa Iglesia, this ancient site features geometric carvings, sharply defined niches, and a stone surface shaped with remarkable precision. But the deeper you look, the more questions begin to emerge.
Unlike ordinary stone buildings, Ñaupa Iglesia was carved directly into natural volcanic rock. Its most striking feature is a carefully shaped stone surface with stepped designs and geometric details that appear to have been created for a ceremonial purpose. Nearby, trapezoidal niches built into the surrounding walls reflect architectural patterns associated with Inca sacred spaces. The precision of the carvings makes you wonder how ancient craftsmen achieved such detailed work using the tools and techniques available to them.
The site is believed to have served as a sacred ceremonial space, or huaca, within the Andean religious landscape. Some interpretations connect its design to astronomical observations and spiritual traditions, but the exact purpose of every carving remains uncertain. Was this a place for rituals, a location connected to the movements of the Sun, or a sacred space whose original meaning has been lost over time?
Perhaps the most intriguing part is the way the natural rock and human craftsmanship come together. Instead of constructing a monument from separate blocks, the builders transformed the existing landscape into something highly structured and symbolic. The result is a place where the boundary between nature and architecture almost disappears.
Although Ñaupa Iglesia is often associated with the Inca period, archaeological research suggests that the history of the site may be more complex than a single date or civilization. Understanding when different parts were created and how the location was used requires careful archaeological investigation rather than speculation about unknown technologies.
Standing before these ancient carvings, one question remains: What did the people who shaped this stone want future generations to understand?
The mountain has preserved the structure for centuries. But the original story behind its mysterious designs may still be waiting to be uncovered.
