Sid,

Favorably connecting two sounds, Temple of the Warriors:

Two huge feathered serpents  frame the door to the temple at the top of the pyramid.

The echo from a hand clap placed on the grass (a few feet from the structure)


while facing the steps (and the feathered serpents) produces Two (2) distinct sounds:





1) Quetzal like chirp from the stairs followed by





2) A lengthy rattlesnake-like sound (ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz--) reflects off 


   the columns. The rattlesnake sound starts off loudly then gradually fades


   as sound is reflected from the columns further away.






Group of 1000 columns.

Isn't that the sound one might expect from a feathered serpent?

This beats all! Does this now mean that the Maya built this acoustical
affect into their pyramids.  Imagine what would happen if
"Mayans 'played' pyramids to make music for rain god'
and the audience enthusiastically applauded the sounds by energetically
clapping!  The subsequent squealing Quetzal sounds would spoil the desired
affect unless someone could favorably connect
 the two!
