    I think it is in Mexico on the Yucatan peninsula. I'm sure I saw this on a visit there some years ago, which means it is in either Chichen Itza or possibly Ushmal.

    :yay: Chichen Itza - I remember that pyramid, I'm sure we went up the inside as well as the outside, or was that a different one :scratch: It was amazingly hot in Mexico and there were enormous lizards basking amidst the ruins. I shall have to look up my old journal and dig out the photos - it was ten years ago - what a trip!
