Description:
|
The paintings show very detailed pictures of the ancient mayan life. The interpretation of the scenes is not always clear and sometime subject of speculations. Amongst others it seems that the artists illustrated a procession of dancing priests or musiscians, war scenes and a court of war prisoners. The Temple of Murals is the only temple in Bonampak with several rooms. The paintings date to a time around 790 AD.
