At 190 ft (59 M) tall, Temple V is the second tallest pyramid in the city of Tikal. Seen here from what was the Kings Palace window, not much is known about Temple V despite the fact it commands obvious attention due east of the city center. Some archaeologists believe it to stand over the burial site of an unknown ruler. To date no attempts to excavate it’s base have been made. Looking closely one recognizes this Temple from Star Wars as well. Lucas took the name Star Wars from the military history of the Maya who conducted battles according to the position of Venus, Tlaloc the God of war. Buy calendars online
