The Zampul-ché took place in a small structure no more than two square meters. This structure may be rectangular, but it is important to mention that one of the main purposes the Mayan people built it that way was to simulate the mother’s womb. Heat is an essential component of this ceremony, so to produce it, four groups of thirteen volcanic stones were placed inside the structure, each one of them representing a door, and all of them […]
