Five Dollar Exhibit of Artifacts From Sacred Yucatan Well
A five dollar exhibit features artifacts from the sacred well at Chichen Itza in Yucatan, opening Monday evening at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Historial Plaza. The 25 items show offerings thrown into the well to gain favor from the rain god Chaac, including garments and personal possessions reflecting the seriousness of the problem. In some cases humans were reportedly sacrificed to mark major calendar cycles according to Professor Fernando Camara.
