Ruinen von Tulum

Known as the “Wall”, Tulum is an archeological park in the coast of Yucatan Peninsula, located in the city of Tulum. Tulum was built late in the thirteenth century, during what is known as the Mayan post-classic period. In the ancient Maya era, Tulum was a sea port, which main commercial activity was the turquoise and jade. Surrounding by walls that protected it against invasion, was protected on one side by steep sea cliffs and on the other by a wall; the wall was about eight meters thick and 400…

Tulum, bekannt als „Mauer“, ist ein archäologischer Park an der Küste der Halbinsel Yucatan in der Stadt Tulum. Tulum wurde Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts in der sogenannten postklassischen Maya-Zeit erbaut.

In der alten Maya-Ära war Tulum ein Seehafen, dessen Hauptgeschäftstätigkeit Türkis und Jade waren. Umgeben von Mauern, die es vor Invasion schützten, wurde es auf der einen Seite von steilen Klippen und auf der anderen von einer Mauer geschützt; Die Mauer war etwa acht Meter dick und 400 Meter lang an der Seite parallel zum Meer. Das war durchschnittlich drei bis fünf Meter hoch; Dies zeigt, wie wichtig die Verteidigung für das Maya-Volk war. Es gibt auch kleine Strukturen, die als Wachtürme dienen und wieder zeigen, wie gut die Stadt verteidigt worden wäre.

Bei Tulum gibt es drei wichtige Strukturen von Interesse:

 El Castillo

 The Temple of the Frescoes

 The Temple of the Descending God

Tulum ist der perfekte Ort für diejenigen, die ein kleines Abenteuer erleben möchten, wo Sie die Traditionen, Geheimnisse und Wunder der Maya-Kultur entdecken und die natürliche Schönheit und das erfrischende blaue Wasser des kleinen karibischen Strandes genießen können.

El Castillo

In the central precinct is the Castillo, which is 7.5 meters tall. The Castillo was built on a previous building that was colonnaded and had a beam and mortar roof. The lintels in the upper rooms have serpent motifs carved into them. The construction of the Castillo appears to have taken place in stages. A small shrine appears to have been used as a beacon for incoming canoes. This shrine marks a break in the barrier reef that is opposite the site. Here there is a cove and landing beach in a break in the sea cliffs that would have been perfect for trading canoes coming in. This characteristic of the site may be one of the reasons the Maya founded the city of Tulum exactly here.

The Temple of the Frescoes

Among the more spectacular buildings here is the Temple of the Frescoes that included a lower gallery and a smaller second story gallery. The Temple of the Frescoes was used as an observatory for tracking the movements of the sun. Niched figurines of the Maya “diving god” or Venus deity decorate the facade of the temple.

The Temple of the Descending God

This “diving god” is also depicted in the central precinct of the site. Above the entrance in the western wall a stucco figure of the “diving god” is still preserved, giving the temple its name. A mural can still be seen on the eastern wall that resembles that of a style that originated in highland Mexico, called the Mixteca-Puebla style, though visitors are no longer permitted to enter.
