17 de enero de 2009 🏰 Santuario dinástico de Chan Bahlum II: Construido en 692 d.C. para conmemorar su ascenso al trono tras la muerte de Pakal el Grande, este templo alberga un tablero ceremonial donde se representa la Ceiba Cósmica (axis mundi que conecta inframundo, tierra y cielo) 🌳. En su interior, el santuario muestra al gobernante recibiendo el cetro del poder de manos de su difunto padre, mientras símbolos astrales y deidades de la Triada de Palenque (GI, GII, GIII) flanquean la escena . Durante mi visita, acentuaba el verde esmeralda de la selva circundante alrededor de la crestería de 12 metros.

El Templo de la Cruz es una de las estructuras más destacadas del conjunto arqueológico de Palenque. Situado sobre una pirámide escalonada, ofrece una vista impresionante del entorno selvático. Aunque no conserva su fachada original, aún se puede apreciar su crestería y la majestuosidad de su diseño. Es una parada esencial para quienes desean explorar la riqueza arquitectónica y cultural de la civilización maya.​

El templo de la cruz es una pirámide escalonada que contiene bajorrelieves en su interior. El templo fue construido para conmemorar el ascenso de Chan Bahlum II al trono tras la muerte de Pacal el Grande . Los bajorrelieves revelan a Chan Bahlum recibiendo el gran regalo de su predecesor. El motivo de la cruz encontrado en el complejo alude a los nombres dados a los templos, pero en realidad la cruz es una representación del Árbol del Mundo que se puede encontrar en el centro del mundo según la...
