Sacbe
A sacbe, plural sacbeob (Yucatec Maya: singular sakbej, plural sakbejo'ob), or "white way", is a raised paved road built by the Maya civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Most connect temples, plazas, and groups of structures within ceremonial centers or cities, but some longer roads between cities are also known. The term "sacbe" is Yucatec Maya for "white road"; white because they were originally coated with limestone stucco, which was over stone and rubble fill.
Many sacbeob can be seen by modern visitors to Maya sites; perhaps the most familiar is the one in Chichen Itza running from the main group around El Castillo to the Sacred Cenote, which is traveled on by thousands of tourists daily. Few of the longer roads still exist in their entirety. A well known sacbe connects Uxmal with Kabah, which is marked by corbel arches at either end. The 62-mile-long (100 km) road connecting the ancient cities of Coba and Yaxuna was for decades the longest known to archaeologists. The remains of an even longer route have recently received the attention of archaeologists. This long sacbe apparently ran from the site of Ti'ho (modern Mérida, Yucatán), through such sites as Ake and Izamal, to the Caribbean Sea near modern Puerto Morelos, a total distance of some 300 km.

Tio sam
by: Ska PTío Sam, muñeco de homicidio
Tío Sam, jugamos a matar
Tío Sam, comienza el exterminio
Tío Sam, operación Irak
Suenan los pepinos en Bagdag
inician la ofensiva militar
la sangre ha comenzado ya a brotar
cuidado no te vaya a salpicar
Tío Sam, muñeco ultrasádico
Tío Sam, todo por su interés
Tío Sam, misiles diplomáticos
Tío Sam, te van a convencer
Y nos venden sus mentiras por televisión
engañando al personal yendo de salvador
no hay acuerdo, procedamos a la destrucción
mataremos sin piedad
Mil muertos más, qué más da, es mi guerra
voy a lanzar mi arsenal a la tierra
los muertos los ponen los demás, la miseria
yo tengo licencia pa matar, a la mierda!!
Siempre en la vanguardia militar
son los aliados de la OTAN
máquinas perfectas de matar
asesinan en el nombre de la paz
Y nos venden sus mentiras por televisión
engañando al personal yendo de salvador
no hay acuerdo procedamos a la destrucción
mataremos sin piedad
Mil muertos más, qué más da, es mi guerra
voy a lanzar mi arsenal a la tierra
los muertos los ponen los demás, la miseria
yo tengo licencia pa matar, a la mierda!!
ALIADOS ASESINOS, A LA MIERDA!!
Asesinos del Tratado Atlántico: os saludan los muertos de Irak..
Los muertos los pone el Pueblo..
