In today’s video, we will discuss the Hochob Earth Monster in the area around Merida in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The area is known for its Chene-style decoration, with remarkable 3D relief carvings, stucco, and pyramids. The Hochob Earth Monster site has three rooms called "The Palace," a decorative slab, and a room on the left side.
The site was first settled around 400 BC and is decorated in the classic Chene style, with crossed eyes and a slightly different style than the rioback style. The site has three rooms, with the space between the eyebrows being left empty. It has a small platform that serves as access to within, decorated hooks or teeth, and a lower jaw bone of Mana, one of the great gods of the Ancient Maya. The video shows the Earth monster, which serves as armor and a rain guard and has elements of shark in it, and suggests that this architectural tradition may have been part of the Mayan civilization's geomantic nature, bringing shamanic psychedelic elements into their building style.
