Palenque is an extremely symbolic site.
Ancestral worship in Palenque was depicted in its architecture
and in its modified landscape.
It connects with the modern-day population.
Mayan culture in Palenque is very much alive.
The ritual going on right now represents the spring equinox.
The equinox was very important.
That's why they made the temples.
It is like a connection with the whole planet.
