Comments: Again, the visitors' entrance is seen at the upper right. North-south is on the vertical axis. Notice that Temples I, II, and IV are all in a straight line and that this line forms a right angle triangle from Temple I through the ball court to Temple V. The significance of this triangle and others throughout Tikal will be alluded to throughout this virtual tour.
