I don't have any better photos. If you have some or any better ideas, please upload. In the meantime, I don't see what's wrong with showing what is undoubtedly that ethnic group's most recognizable building/achievement. Madman13:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
The number of 30,000 ethnic Itza would need a citation/source and year in my view. This number is unfortunately not supported by data from Ethnologue (1800 ethnic Itza in 2001) and the official population census of 2002 (1983 ethnic Itza in 2002). Arjuno 13:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
