Each Mayan city was ruled by a man called the halach uinic who also served as high-priest. The house of the halach uinic in Tulum is relatively well preserved. Above the entrance is an elaborate carving protected in modern times by a thatched roof overhead.

It would be good to reproduce the house of unic to its original form. At least, I would like to see it how it was…….
The parthenon in Athens, Greece was reproduced in its original form. How about Halach Unic’s house?
