Trivia: Where is the old Mayan city of Izamal, painted entirely in yellow?
Brazil
Mexico
Peru
Nicaragua
The correct answer is Mexico
So why is this answer correct? : The Spanish arrived in what is now Izamal in the 1550s. The site of a Mayan settlement dating back some 2,000 years, the city has a name which means “dew that falls from the heavens.” But why is nearly every building in town painted yellow? No one is entirely sure. Some say it was painted in honor of a papal visit in 1993, while others say it was to honor the Mayan Sun God.
