11-06-08 More Becan

Becan was so increadible I wanted to go back for a few more photos and to make drawings of some of the newly uncovered complexes.
A large middle classic Rio Bec building. The pyrimid base has a network of halls and rooms with ceilings some 25ft tall. There is a small enterance in the rear, but it had been blocked off with stones so people like me will not go in.
Proabably the earliest uncovered monstermouth door at Becan. While most have carved stone covered with stucco for fine detail, this one was done entirly with stucco, only stone pegs remain on the wall to hold the stucco in place.
This room recently collapsed. when encased in earth, structures stay well preserved, once uncovered again, they begin to fall apart.
