The qualities of charity, love, and turn-the-other-cheek, however, are rejected. ? But a God that’s not only sacrificed for you but has his heart torn out, God Almighty, checkmate in Huitzilopochtli!

Near Tierra Colorada it began to get hot and bright. When we left Acapulco there was still a good breeze.
When I arrived, early in the morning, to supervise the loading of the casket, I found Filiberto buried beneath a mound of coconuts the driver wanted to get him in the luggage compartment as quickly at possible, covered with canvas in order not to upset the passengers, and to avoid bad luck on the trip.

El término fue acuñado en 1875 por el explorador Augustus Le Plongeon, quien observó este tipo de esculturas por primera vez en Yucatán, por ello propuso un nombre en maya yucateco. Chac mool es un tipo de esculturas precolombinas mesoamericanas que aparecen al principio del Período Posclásico en diversos sitios de la región.

Several specimens have been found in Tollan-Xicocotitlan and Chichén Itzá, this fact is one of the arguments used in the debates on the relations between these two sites. This type of statues made their appearance in Mesoamerica at the beginning of postclassic, and is associated with the Toltecs. Not to be confused with Chaac, Mayan god of rain.
