Fellow Rutgers student allen lutins saddled-up to one of the many phallic representations that are scattered about insitu [where they were found]

The stones await their placement in an interpretive exhibit...

FROM AN INTERNET DISCUSSION OF MAYA ACOUSTIC PHENOMENON-->
"When I was at Chichén Itzá several years ago the guide showed me a stack of what looked like stone artillery shells. He said that to this day no one has been able to determine what they were for. Then with a wink he picked up two sticks and proceeded to play a tune on the "shells". Each one was precisely tuned. Perhaps the "ancients" knew more about acoustics than we give them credit for."
