Temple of the Inscriptions (Palenque)
Chiapas, Mexico
Maya step pyramid. Height: 27.2 m. Date: c. 675–683 CE.
Tomb of K'inich Janaab Pakal (Pakal the Great). Famous for Pakal's sarcophagus lid, which von Däniken interpreted as an astronaut; archaeologists reject this reading and see the world tree instead.
