I know one guy has done some mayan temples, because I saw a great render (by fab) of one of 'em. i would hafta skip renders of the blood sacrifices on the jaguar altar (chac mool), on account of I have got violence blocked in me gallery prefs. however, there was a review today in the local paper (frisco chronicle) about the movie. AFAICT, the movie is historically accurate, but the reviewer was under some misconceptions, based on his hatred for gibson, in regard to the reason for the demise of the mayan elite. whilst it's true that a confederation of mexican and spanish groups eliminated the aztecan elite, the same can't be said of the mayan hierarchy. incidentally, there's a group in san diego who want to bring back the ancient aztecan empire, as crazy as that sounds. they make the nazis look like boy scouts :lol:
