I've always loved the feeling of inspiration that sacred temples and places of worship create. They are the most wonderful of places to let go of emotional baggage

This Temple is found in Datong, in the Shanxi Province of China.  It is a Daoist Temple.  It is called Xuan-Kong-Si.

   This is a presumed portal to the Maya Underground.  Archaeologists working at a site in the village of Tahtzibichen, in Mérida, the capital of Mexico's Yucatán state, discovered this site back in 2008.
  Mexican archaeologists believe what they discovered is a maze of stone temples in underground caves, some submerged in water and containing human bones.
   Scholars believe that the ancient Mayas likely considered the construction a portal for dead souls to pass into the underworld.

The kingdoms of Bagan date back to the early 2nd century A.D.  Bagan only entered its golden age with the conquest of Thaton by King Anawrahta in 1057 A.D. From this time, until Bagan was overrun by Kublai Khan's forces in 1287 A.D., more than 13,000 temples, pagodas and other religious structures were built. Today approximately 2,200 temples remain standing.
