Rare Saint Greg Posted March 11, 2022 Author #1438 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The most important structure..maybe in all of Belize is at the head of plaza b. The temple of the sun god. That’s the big one. The one from the beer bottles. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted March 11, 2022 Author #1445 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) The reason the temple of the sun god is so important is because the jade head was found in a tomb there. The jade head is a six inch tall piece of jade sculpted into the head of sun god kinich ahau. The jade head is the crown jewel of Belize. It’s stored in the Belize central bank. When it’s brought out on display it has more security than the prime minister. Our tour guides grandfather is the person who found it.
