Chapter 138: Chapter 87 Lake Capital City, Tenochtitlan! Part Three

Ascending the passage and mounting four steps, one arrived at the summit of the pyramid, a vast platform. The platform measured a hundred meters in length and eighty meters in width, like a throne bearing the essence of divinity. And atop this flat summit stood the temple that dwelled high in the heavens.

The temple soared twenty meters high, with the blue temple of the Maya Rain God on the left, dedicated to the deities of rain, agriculture, and storm—Tlaloc. On the right was the volcanic red War God Hall, housing the War God, Sun God, and Guardian God Huitzilopochtli. The blue of the temple represented the rainy season and summer solstice, while the red symbolized blood and warfare.
