Nohoch Nah, San Gervasio Cozumel Mexico

[Capt. Stabbin]

San Gervasio is a Maya site located on the island of Cozumel in Mexico. It was a site of pilgramage to give offerings to the godess Ixchel.

From Wikipedia about this particular building:

Nohoch Nah

Meaning: Big House

Constructed during: Terminal-Classic (1000-1200 AD) and Post-Classic (1200-1650 AD)

Location: North of the District 1 Central Plaza

With its intact roof, this is one of the best preserved buildings in San Gervasio. Inside, (closed off to the public, but visible through the doorway) the interior walls still show signs of a red, ochre and blue mural. This building was a temple dedicated to Ku’kul’kan, the feathered serpent god.

The actual site (not my pictures):

Fine build (based on the strange original ) - with very good trees and excellent SNOT-work.

Brick on!

[Balbo]

Excellent work . I love the different techniques for the trees!

[LittleJohn]

Fantastic work! I really like the colors of the house and the trees are great as well

[Maxim I]

I really like how much it looks like the original!

Great job :)

Awesome stuff. I've actually been to several of these sites, so I really appriciate this moc. However what strikes me as especially cool is that glass table of yours, it just really makes for a nice water effect!

That's a very nice historically-correct build. I'm glad you shared the reference photos, too. The crumbling building is nice and I like the variety of trees. Good choice on the 1x1 round brick palm trunks - I think it looks more realistic than the standard pieces. And kabel is right about the table - it would make an excellent base for all kinds of pirate-theme builds.

Great build, I really enjoy LEGO interpretations of actual locations and events. You've done a wonderful job on this one.
