    I can recommend it, it's amazing walking around a city that's been buried beneath ash for over 1500 years.

    Damn right, it's not every time you get the chance to visit an ancient city that was burned to death but still survives even if burnt.

    Untill someone graped you and did some sort of Religous sacrifice against you, but everyone thinks of the Aztec as Barbaric killers they where very cultured and had a grand education system. Heck there was propley alot things we could have learned from the Aztecs but the asshole of the world at the time (See Spain) Decided to burn it all.
