Templo del Dios Descendente (Temple of the Descending God) is one of the most beautiful temples in Tulum. This is not the result of age, but the way these entries were originally designed. As with several other structures on the site, Templo del Dios Descendente was constructed over another temple that was filled in to serve as its base. The temple gets its name from a sculpture located there that represents a god-human wearing a headdress, descending from the heavens, holding an object of some kind. This partly human descending figure is found on several other buildings in the site as well as other buildings in the area, including Coba, another archaeological site located around 50 km (30 miles) to the west. Although the temple was originally decorated with a mural of several gods, this work of art has since been lost to time and the elements. At the bottom of the stairs is a small building that is believed to have been dedicated to the goddess Ixchel. Inside this small structure that archaeologists suspect represent the male sexual organ.

Pyramid El Castillo (The Castle)

By: kuressaare.
The most prominent of all the buildings at Tulum is El Castillo (the Castle), a pyramid-shaped temple which stands near the edge of the 40 foot cliffs that overlook the Caribbean. The building also served as a lighthouse for sailors. Two lanterns were positioned at the top of the pyramid such that when boats were coming in, they could line up the 2 lights to guide them into port.
Tulum stands on a bluff facing east towards the Caribbean Sea and because of this, is also known as Zama (The City of the Dawn). Tulm was a walled city, the walls surrounding the site served as defense against invasions. Access to both land and sea trade routes, made Tulm an important trade hub, especially for the obsidian trade.

Green Point
Farceur (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Farceur.
зеленыи мыс will translate into lots of things to do with Cape Verde (verde being Spanish for green) so you must use the dipthong й instead of и in the first word (зеленый мыс) to get the correct translation from Russian cyrillic to english so it will read Green Point which is on the shore of Pestovskoye reservoir 20km from Moscow.
