Tonina – ruins from the Maya civilization. Not sure what this is supposed to mean, but it seems important!

The Grecas contain a message from the ancients or the gods, perhaps even Quetzalcoatl himself. / The corners add up to 28, which was interpreted as linking it with a 28-day lunar calendar used at one time by the Maya. / The secret pattern in the Grecas becomes evident when the photograph is cropped to remove the steps, as seen below. The left and right sides appear aligned to form an “X.”
