Chichén Itzá Pyramids ???????? México Travel Guide - Travel & Discover

Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities and it was likely to have been one of the mythical great cities, or Tollans, referred to in later Mesoamerican literature. The city may have had the most diverse population in the Maya world, a factor that could have contributed to the variety of architectural styles at the site.

Hidden third temple found inside Mexico’s Kukulkan pyramid at Chichen Itza ruins - TomoNews

CHICHEN ITZA, MEXICO — A hidden third temple was discovered this month inside the Kukulkan Pyramid, one of the world’s most famous ancient structures.

Researchers used a 3D scanning technique called electrical resistivity tomography to find the 10-meter-tall structure inside the Temple of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza in the Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Experts believe this third structure was constructed between the years 550 and 800, reported the BBC, citing researchers.

Also known as El Castillo, the Kukulkan was already known to have been made of up other two temples. According to an AFP report, these consist of a 30-meter-tall external structure with another 20-meter-tall pyramid inside of it. It is thought that the new structures were added to cover decaying ones or to welcome new leaders.

Desmontando la historia 2/18: Chichén Itzá, los secretos de la pirámide Maya - Documental

Investigamos la antigua ciudad maya de Chichén Itzá y su icónica pirámide, el Templo de Kukulkán. Desmontando este magnífico monumento piedra a piedra descubriremos los misterios de esta civilización perdida.

Situado en la selva de Yucatán, Chichén Itzá es la ciudad maya mejor conservada. Nos encontramos con arqueólogos que trabajan para desentrañar los secretos de Chichén Itzá, revelando cómo se construyeron estas vastas estructuras, cómo vivió esta sociedad y cómo la religión moldeó esta ciudad.

Exploramos cómo los mayas pudieron sobrevivir en la selva por casi 3000 años e investigamos qué cascada de acontecimientos causó que esta civilización se derrumbara inexplicablemente.

Dispararemos el edificio más emblemático de Chichén Itzá, el Castillo de 80 pies, para revelar las cavidades ocultas, incluyendo una impresionante sala del trono y las estructuras de dos pirámides anteriores que se encuentran dentro. Los gráficos en CGI harán estallar el Castillo en los cielos, revelando un nuevo lago subterráneo recién descubierto, un cenote, situado debajo. Nos encontramos con los geólogos que lo encontraron, que creen que los mayas construyeron en este lugar por su importancia sagrada. También seguimos a los equipos de buceo que exploran otros cenotes en toda la región. Sus hallazgos, esqueletos humanos y ofrendas, proporcionan pistas sobre los mitos y creencias de los antiguos mayas.

Desciframos las claves contenidas dentro de las estructuras misteriosas de Chichen Itza para revelar los secretos de la cultura maya, su maestría en la astronomía y la ingeniería y sus ritos religiosos a veces sanguinarios.

Chichen Itza - Best View On Top of Temple of Kukulkan or El Castillo

Chichen Itza tour to Ik Kil cenote, Temple of Kukulkan, aka El Castillo and Temple of the Warriors. You see people climbing up and down the steps of El Castllo in this video. Each of the four (exceedingly steep) stairways of the pyramid has 91 steps, with a final step at the top making a total of 365, the number of days in a solar year. The height is about 30 m or 98.4 feet.

Mexico: See Kukulkan the 'Feathered Serpent' descend from El Castillo temple

Thousands gathered at the El Castillo temple in Chichen Itza archaeological site in Tinum, Friday, to witness the appearance of Kukulkan (which means 'Feathered Serpent' in English), an ancient Mayan snake deity, descending from the stairs of the pyramid - an illusion appearing only twice a year during the spring and fall time equinoxes due to the specific angle of the sun and the shadows cast by the first nine steps of the temple.
