The Temple of the Frescoes, Tulum, Mexico — The Temple of the Frescoes dates to around the 11th century CE while the paintings on the walls inside date to 11th-12th centuries CE. A second storey was added later. Two red hand prints can be seen on this second level thought by some scholars to represent the Descending God.
