A Serpent Emerges
Photograph by Kenneth Garrett
Revealed by the careful clearing of fallen stones and rubble that had helped protect it for nearly 1,300 years, a massive serpent head once decorated part of the base of the Great Pyramid at Chac. The toppled serpent now peers skyward, its well preserved “eyebrow”—the curved ridge ending in a scroll—clearly visible in this view. With his right hand archaeologist Michael Smyth touches the vertical upper palate of the serpent‘s gaping mouth. |
