Xamanaj is a three room building on top of a high platform.
To the left is a plan of this small temple as it would appear from above. To
the right is a reconstruction of how the building would have looked in
cross-section. The roofs of these rooms are known as corbel arches, though they
are not "true" arches. Also included in this drawing is the current ground
surface, so that you can see how much of the building has crumbled. Also note
that an entire room is still intact, but due to the activity of looters is in
danger of collapse. Consolodation work is currently in progress to save this
room.
