When one considers that the stone steps, the huge sections of stone in the wall P all had to be carried by human hands, no one knows how far, one reilects that it did not pay to try to escape taxes in '1' America's earlier days. The slaves were those who did not ' pay taxes, as Well as the prisoners of war. ' Over the middle entrance there is an interesting variation of the swastika.

They have interesting geometric designs on the walls, each with its own story perhaps. They were the motif for the decorations on this and other pages of this number of The Beacon. The Spaniards destroyed these temples and later built their churches often on the same site. This picture shows in the background such a church of later Spanish Mexican style, with domes. In the ancient building the roofs were flat. Ruins at Mitla, Oaxaca
