Wow imagine when the next intelligent species on Earth finds this town in the rock after we have evolved to become like more evolved and discapeared (as evolved super humans do). What will they think?

Apart from time for lunch.

That picture is too cool to believe, like a card game illustration come to life.

It increases the youth ministry when you include rock in your Sunday services.

I guess the people decided they needed a more plutonic relationship with god.

I imagine the approaching wall of lava helped their bowels out tremendously.

Inhabitants were able to evacuate? Good to see that all that lava didn't affect their bowels.

You can see a picture from the inside (the altar region) here:

I grew up near Michoacan and used to ride to the Paricutin at least once a year (on our way to Patzcuaro). Definitely worth the couple of hours, if one is visiting.

Here's another one of the tower:

The pictures are from our holidays in 2006 (moved to Europe in 2000).
