Frontiers of the Roman Empire, Germany.
Thank you Edith for the nice card.
Pre-Hispanic City of Chichen-Itza, Mexico
This Mayan temple has 365 steps—one for each day of the year. Each of the temple’s four sides has 91 steps, and the top platform makes the 365th.
Devising a 365-day calendar was just one feat of Maya science. Incredibly, twice a year on the spring and autumn equinoxes, a shadow falls on the pyramid in the shape of a serpent. As the sun sets, this shadowy snake descends the steps to eventually join a stone serpent head at the base of the great staircase up the pyramid’s side.
Thank you Monica, for the great card with matching stamp.

Museumsinsel (Museum Island), Berlin, Germany.
After the Second World War, the thousands of objects in the collections belonging to the state of Prussia were either strewn over countless sites, many of them unknown or had been destroyed; the buildings themselves were severely damaged. Following the reunification of Germany, the collections of former East and West Berlin were merged, and work gradually began on the renovation of the museum buildings to meet the demands of modern, visitor-oriented standards, which lie behind today’s 'Masterplan Museumsinsel', which forms the overarching framework for the redesign of the Museumsinsel Berlin as a whole.
Situated in the very heart of the city, the Museumsinsel Berlin is one of the country’s major sights, attracting hundreds of thousands of guests from all over the world each year, where it showcases its magnificent collections of art and cultural artefacts spanning several millennia from Europe and the wider Mediterranean region.
