We went to an ancient Mayan archaeological site called San Gervasio. Hereʼs the basics, as told by our tour guide:
- Everything was wonderful in Mexico until the Spanish arrived.
- The Mayans used to have a vast city here.
- The city was so vast it needed roads that were in perfect alignment with the moon.
- Women were only allowed to come to the island and its city when they had their periods.
- Everything was wonderful in Mexico until the Spanish arrived.
- something something mumble mumble
- A treasure hunter bought this site from the Mexican government when it was too busy fighting a civil war to care about treasure hunters buying historic sites.
- The treasure hunterʼs tool of choice was dynamite, and he blew all of the historic buildings to pieces looking for gold he never found.
- Some of the chips from the dynamite explosions ended up on the tour guideʼs shoulder.
- Everything was wonderful in Mexico until the Spanish arrived.
