NADA-zero-infinity: Sacred Spaces: TULA |
 | | The various versions of what transpired at Tula have come to us in a very garbled form. |
 | | The main structures, such as the Pyramid of Tlahuixcalpantecuhtli, Lord of the House of Dawn - Quetzalcoatl as Morning Star, the Palace and Vestibule, reminiscent of the Temple of the Columns at Chichen Itza, the unexcavated Pyramid of the Sun, and a small ball-court are the modest fragments of the former capital's sacred heart. |
 | | Atop the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl stand the four colossal statues known as the Atlantes, whose structural function was to support the roof of the temple atop the pyramid, and whose spiritual function was to act as formidable guardians of the rising sun. |
