| Title | Google Launches Street View of Mesoamerican Archaeological Sites |
| Body | From http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2012/08/tour-brazil-and-prehispanic-mexican.html Less than two weeks ago Google introduced Street View imagery of 30 Mesoamerican archaeological sites in Mexico. Start your adventure by exploring Kukulkan’s Temple, a 1,100-year-old pyramid whose peak is reached by climbing 365 steps, one for each day of the year. When visitors clap their hands, the architectural acoustics at the base of the pyramid’s steps are designed to mimic the sound of the Quetzal, a bird that the Mayans regard as representative of their gods. Find hundreds of magical stories like this one by visiting the colossal pyramids of Teotihuacan, emblematic sites for the Mayans such as Chichen Itza or seaside archaeological jewels like Tulum. For links to these sites, read Google’s press release at http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2012/08/tour-brazil-and-prehispanic-mexican.html |
