Centuries of abandonment, earthquakes and collapse left much of the complex in pieces, even as its main temples have been reconstructed.The ruins take over the image. A place built to house gods and religious practice is reduced to piles of black stone. Where do the gods live now? The material fate of the sacred shows how something monumental can break apart, lose its original form, and still remain somehow sacred.
