There are three in the area; Sol (pyramid of the sun) is the third largest pyramid in the world, Luna (pyramid of the moon) is slightly smaller than Sol, and the Feathered Serpent pyramid (I believe it is called the Temple of Quetzalcóatl). Also, there is the Avenue of the Dead and the Ciudadela (Citadel) in the area. See the following sites for more info:

Goebbels would be proud of you.

Pure propaganda

[traumer]

Are those bags decomposable - are will the future archeologists wonder about these 'signs of God' ?

[traumer]

"Shame on these developers. How this got permitting is unbelievable..." :o)

[Libertina]

Correct you are :(

[Cvengr]

Hay problema? (from the other thread)

Maybe Uncle Sam Walton is just trying to blend in with the locals?

Environmental groups had argued that the store was too close to the ruins

In related news, the Natural Resources Defence Council issues a report that the United States still has around 480 nuclear weapons in Europe.

Do they disembowel shoplifters and roll them down the steps?

How in the world did you come to find such an old post?

As to your question, you're very close. They're taken to the roof, placed upon the ritual AC unit, and their hearts are cut out. Rather than being tossed down the steps, the carcass is dressed in a shirt that says "I stole" and then placed in a prominent location inside the store.

What wal-mart do you work for? I totally disagree that wal-mart makes a very good neighbor- they KILL all local "mom-and- pop LOCAL businesses, they come into a community with tax abatements, and with their tax depreciations of their property, they wipe out all local competitors, and then after they have been there about 18-19 years, they CLOSE to avoid paying retirement to their employees.

Nonsense.

Oh, great, Walmart's a pyramid now? That means folks will be inviting me to their homes to recruit me to a "great business opportunity."

But the same people wouldn't object to a huge "Ministry of Culture" office building full of thousands of worthless bureaucratic drones on the same site.

Well, the environmentalists like to fight for preservation of the old, natural ways. Cholera epidemics and malnutrition, children wading through raw sewage looking for food, that kind of stuff. You know what happens when the evil capitalists put in storm water drains, sewage systems, and city infrastructures. It just destroys the habitat for the stinky dung and flesh eating beetle, which, as we know, is endangered.

Nietzche is dead. -God

I believe Ray has the last word in this argument. ;)

As for the Wal-Mart? I've been to Chichen Itza. Mexico does not take care of ANY of their landmarks or National Treasures. That place was a dump! Trash everywhere, the pyramid was full of graffiti after I climbed to the top. The "Virgin Child Sacrificing Pool" had garbage floating in it. Disgusting. If anything, a Wal-Mart might class up the place. I've traveled extensively in Mexico. I've not seen much National Pride in their heritage, or historic places. Sorry. Just my Life Experience. I've seen more Mexican National Pride in places like San Antonio, TX than I ever have in Mexico.
