As we have already explained, the name does not describe a specific purpose for the so called House of the Turtles, but rather derives from the sequence of sculptural motifs that decorate the buildings upper facade. Mainstream academics, archaeologists and historians have all failed at attempts to provide us with a satisfactory explanation for the actual function of the temple, merely suggesting that it may have been used for ceremonies to bring rain. While this is probably true, it does not account for the deliberate alignment to the Ball Court and the Nunnery Quadrangle.
