Jaguars Worshipped Here

jaguartemplesmallThis is the Jaguar Temple at Lamanai.  There’s a big jaguar face sculpture in the center of the photo, and another on the right side of the temple, out of frame.

In front, also out of frame, is a big circular stone Mayan calendar.  Which, oddly enough, failed to correctly predict the end of the world in 2012.
