After visiting Temple II, we walked over to Temple VI.  The path to Temple VI is behind Temple II.  Temple VI was not in as good a condition as Temple II.  Temple VI is actually part of a larger group of temples.  I liked Temple VI but felt that the energy of this site really flowed through Temple II and Temple XX.

According to the INAH Plaque accompanying this temple, Temple VI originally (660 A.D.) had only 2 central rooms.  the Mayans constructed a perforated wall or roof comb on the temple’s upper part, as a type of finishing, to create a sense of largeness(?).  Several stucco modeled figures, both mythological and symbolic beings, decorated this finish.  Today only the stone supports remain.  The frieze also contained a partial zoomorphic facade, that is, a figure without a jawbone.  On both sides of the main entrance are parts of 2 panels of stylized profile masks.  Later, the Mayans added smaller rooms on the west side, which provided wide interior benches.  The 3rd construction phase, of lesser quality, occurred in the mid-10th Century A.D., when the Mayans added the 2 rooms on the east side.
