    A projection in stereo 3D of a detail of Kabah's Palace of Masks, Codz Poop ("rolled matting"). The famous frieze is a repetitious depiction of the Long Nosed Rain God, Chaac ( Protector of the Harvest), thought by some to be a cultural memory of the wholly mammoth or elephant. The image can be viewed in full stereo 3D using red/blue glasses.
