    Down here they call that kind of thing a Nicho, but they are usually inside the house and in the Mexican culture are normally used for family alters and such. Think of Dia De Los Muertos alters from Coco (movie). It's cool to see a different version, thanks Marc!

    So the original contents of the niches differed over the centuries. So if we want to know what would have been originally in that niche, we need to find out the age of the building first and that will help inform us. Okay, great thanks for the info. 👍

    I don't know why the algorithm recommended me this video, I already knew the explanation, but I still put a thumb up for the 1:50 joke 😆

    I was going to say something about Jeremy Bentham, but accounts of his preservation are exaggerations. (Accounts of Mark Twain's famous quote have also been greatly exaggerated.)
