    This is Paul in Oaxaca. I was looking for this week's video and I ran across this older one of Monte Albán.
    Since 1970 I've been to Monte Alban seven times. It is a wonderful, spiritual place.
    It's best to go in the wet season because it's not so brown. Everything is green.
    I believe to understand Oaxaca, one must go and spend a morning in Monte Albán.
    Your video was short, but you still did a good job.
    Other important sites around Oaxaca are Yagul & San Jose el Mogote.
    The latter one dates back before Monte Albán. It is said that these are the people that built Monte Albán. Also, in 1200 BCE, San Jose el Mogote may have been the first sedintary agricultural settlement in the area. It's not an impressive site, but a very important one.

    There are a lot of similares between this site and Sechin bajo in peru . The pyramidic structures are similar but the cita layout is different. The pictures of dancers or dismembered humans are almost identical , the way they were carved onto individual stones and appear to have been brought from somewhere else and set into the walls exactly like Sechin Bajo.
    The style of art is again, very similar but not exactly the same.
