Guess what these are
This was pretty cool - I took this during my vacation. I'll give you more hints later if you don't get it right away...  Can anybody guess what these are????

My second guess would be some kind of supports for a house or dock.

they came from caves...
which you'll probably guess what they are from that hint - but the 2nd part of the question is: what did the ancient Mayans use them for???

IIRC they hadn't grasped roller technology for moving large objects like the Egyptians did so IDK. Maybe they are blanks for sculptures? Stones for a solar calendar? The anticipation is killing me!

A good hint would be if they were found stacked like that or if they were moved. If they were found stacked like that was it for storage until they were put to their intended use?

good suggestion! when they used them they were NOT stacked like this. they were spread out and sometimes they'd only use a few of them. when the archeologists uncovered the top of the pyramid, they found 4 of them (different sizes) lined up side by side.

YES! they are stalactites/stalagmites! but the REAL question is what did the Mayans use them for in the city?

In Europe, there are many similar stones used to designate Ley Lines.
(Or petrified extra-large Twinkies from Bapu-land.)

Well I pretty much figured they were stalactites after the cave hint but this new hint has me a little perplexed. I don't want to sound cliched but I'm almost thinking some kind of ceremonial purposes. Perhaps even sacrifice rituals... but that's just... yeah, cliche. *ponders more* Gate/fence posts? Naw I don't like that one either.

Gah! The fence thing wouldn't be right if they were found at the top of the pyramid. Were they found flat or upright?
