At the top of the temple stands an archway, shadow obscuring the entrance just enough that one must approach on foot to see whether the portal inside is open or shut. The shadow is cast by an enormous effigy of a king of the feathered serpents, fully twelve-feet tall at its uppermost point. A semicircular carving of the setting sun decorates the entire platform before the entrance, a symbol of auspicious beginnings in this culture—or was it auspicious endings? No matter.
