| In order
to make sculptures the Mayans carved the solid limestone
stone when he was available. In order to do this the
artists used 'pieces of the stone, basalt chisels, hard
wood and obsidian. Slowly the pieces with heavy wood,
stone hammers and knives of obsidian worked. They cut
stones of the slope and when the stones had the wished
form moved them to the final site of the monument, where
they were carved and carved. |

The done
sculptures show to rituals, myths, history and symbols
to us accompanied by the symbols of the calendar and
hieroglyphics. In these sculptures the personality of
the Mayan culture can be seen that with the passage
of time gives the serenity impression, balance of proportion,
dimension and depth when observing the sculptures of
Gods, kings and priests with its suits so detailed.
|
| The wakes were also carved
with important dates, of, present and the past future.
It seems that the first wakes were constructed around
300 D.C and every 20 years formed to mark the end of
a Katun. Later during the time of the Classic one every
10 years were carved to mark the great events. |
 |
 |
Great volumes of stone
were carved by the Mayans, making wakes and altars that
can be seen in the walls of the seats, patios, entrances
of temples and palaces. Also have been engravings in
the tablets, the walls, the marks of the doors and in
the ceremonial quarters. Many carvings have small pieces
of jade green, the shells and bones worked and used
by the noble, priests and the elite........ |
