Iximche (E-sheam-chae)
No idea what this says, but the title is pronounced E-sheam-chae.
Another work of art from the time of the Nephites.
Isn't it neat. There were even cows grazing on the sidelines.
If you've ever seen "El Dorado" you'll recognize this ball court. The balls were not as bouncey and the players usually wore pads made of cement.
You'll notice that the buildings are not all the way excavated. Mostly because of the cost of excavating in the first place. But they also have to have the money to restore at the same time as the excavating. If they excavate and don't restore immediately the buildings will literally crumble from exposure. So until they have the money to excavate and restore they don't finish exposing the buildings.
