Maya Pirámide de Kukulcán of Chichen Itza - El Castillo - & Cenote Sagrado
Maya Pyramids of Chichen Itza - Kukulcán & Cenote Sagrado
The Castle is one of the new 7 wonders of the modern world.
Cenote Sagrado
Also known as the Sacred Well, this is one of the most important cenotes in the Yucatan peninsula. It is 90 km away from Merida, within the grounds of the Chichen Itza archaeological zone, and still preserves the enigmas of a culture-rich past. A witness of major historical events, Chichen Itza’s Sacred Well is magnificent and mysterious, guaranteeing a superb outing.
Wonderful archaeological zone has given much information to know better the ancient Maya culture and its pyramid.
Chichen Itza means in the entrance of the well of the water wizards is famous for been declared World Heritage Site by the UNESCO
El Castillo, also known as Kukulcán's Pyramid, is a Mesoamerican step-pyramid built in the centre of Mayan center of Chichen Itza in Mexico. Several architectural features have suggested astronomical elements. Each of the stairways built into the sides of the pyramid has 91 steps. Along with the extra one for the platform at the top, this totals 365 steps, which is possibly one for each day of the year (365.25) or the number of lunar orbits in 10,000 rotations (365.01).
A visually striking effect is seen every March and September as an unusual shadow occurs on the equinoxes. A shadow appears to descend the west balustrade of the northern stairway. The visual effect is of a serpent descending the stairway, with its head at the base in light. Additionally the western face points to sunset around 25 May, traditionally the date of transition from the dry to the rainy season

Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza- Mexico,Belize,Guatemala,Honduras Ep 7-Vlog calatorii travel
El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulcan, is a Mesoamerican step-pyramid that dominates the center of the Chichen Itza archaeological site in the Mexican state of Yucatán.
Built by the pre-Columbian Maya civilization sometime between the 9th and 12th centuries CE, El Castillo served as a temple to the god Kukulkan, the Yucatec Maya Feathered Serpent deity closely related to the god Quetzalcoatl known to the Aztecs and other central Mexican cultures of the Postclassic period.
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel romanian vloggers on YouTube, such as: + BackPackYourLife + Daily Sugars + Travel n'2 + Lipa Lipa , and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

Mexico inside kukulkan pyramid
Kukulkan (/kuːkuːlˈkän/) (Plumed Serpent, Feathered Serpent) is the name of a Maya snake deity that also serves to designate historical persons. The depiction of the feathered serpent deity is present in other cultures of Mesoamerica. Kukulkan is closely related to the god Q'uq'umatz of the K'iche' Maya and to Quetzalcoatl of the Aztecs.[1] Little is known of the mythology of this pre-Columbian deity.[2]
Although heavily Mexicanised, Kukulkan has his origins among the Maya of the Classic Period, when he was known as Waxaklahun Ubah Kan (/waʃaklaˈχuːn uːˈɓaχ kän/), the War Serpent, and he has been identified as the Postclassic version of the Vision Serpent of Classic Maya art.[3]
The cult of Kukulkan/Quetzalcoatl was the first Mesoamerican religion to transcend the old Classic Period linguistic and ethnic divisions.[4] This cult facilitated communication and peaceful trade among peoples of many different social and ethnic backgrounds.[4] Although the cult was originally centred on the ancient city of Chichén Itzá in the modern Mexican state of Yucatán, it spread as far as the Guatemalan highlands.[5]
In Yucatán, references to the deity Kukulkan are confused by references to a named individual who bore the name of the god. Because of this, the distinction between the two has become blurred.[6] This individual appears to have been a ruler or priest at Chichen Itza, who first appeared around the 10th century.[7] Although Kukulkan was mentioned as a historical person by Maya writers of the 16th century, the earlier 9th-century texts at Chichen Itza never identified him as human and artistic representations depicted him as a Vision Serpent entwined around the figures of nobles.[8] At Chichen Itza, Kukulkan is also depicted presiding over sacrifice scenes.[9]
Sizeable temples to Kukulkan are found at archaeological sites throughout the north of the Yucatán Peninsula, such as Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Mayapan.[7]

Mexiko - Welt der Maya - Chichén Itzá - Pyramide Kukulcan
PMMedia1: Musik by Dreamweaver - Markus Pitzer
Die Tempelstadt Chichén Itzá auf der Halbinsel Yucatan wurde um das Jahr 450 gegründet und war in präkolumbischer Zeit das Zentrum der Maya-Kultur. Das wohl bekannteste Bauwerk, die Pyramide des Kukulcán, gibt den Archäologen immer noch große Rätsel auf. Sie wird auch El Castillo genannt. Hinter dem 30 m hohen Bauwerk verbirgt sich eine tiefe kosmische Symbolik. Die vier Treppenaufstiege besitzen jeweils 91 Stufen, insgesamt also 364. Eine 365. Stufe befindet sich auf der Spitze der Pyramide vor dem Tempel des Schlangengottes Kukulcán. Die Stufen symbolisieren die Kalendertage eines Jahres und dokumentieren den hohen astronomischen Wissensstand der Mayas in präkolumbischer Zeit. In der weitläufigen Ruinenanlage kann man aber noch viele zum Teil hervorragend restaurierte Bauwerke besichtigen. Der Ballspielplatz, das Observatorium, der Kriegertempel, die Halle der tausend Säulen und andere sind eine Besichtigung wert.
Chichen Itza Pyramid, the descent of the feathered serpent
Equinox, meaning equal night, is the time of year when the hours of day and night are the same. This only happens once in autumn and again in late March, known as the spring equinox. The iconic Mayan archaeological site of Chichen Itza is the only place in the world where you can see the natural phenomenon come to life.
Late in the afternoon the sun projects triangles of light created by the angle of the sun and the northern edges of the pyramid's steps. Simulating a snake-like effect, the shadow gradually descends to the jaws of the serpent's head carved at the base of the pyramid.

Chichén Itzá - México
Chichén Itzá - El Castillo - Kukulkan Pyramid - México
Chichén Itzá (en maya: (Chichén) Boca del pozo; de los (Itzá) brujos de agua ) es uno de los principales sitios arqueológicos de la península de Yucatán, en México, ubicado en el municipio de Tinum, en el estado de Yucatán. Vestigio importante y renombrado de la civilización maya, las edificaciones principales que ahí perduran corresponden a la época de la declinación de la propia cultura maya denominada por los arqueólogos como el período posclásico.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chichén Itzá ist eine der bedeutendsten Ruinenstätten auf der mexikanischen Halbinsel Yucatán. Sie liegt etwa 120 Kilometer östlich von Mérida im Bundesstaat Yucatán. Ihre Ruinen stammen aus der späten Maya-Zeit.

1.5 Mystic Places- Chichén Itzá, Pyramid of Kukulkan & Mayan Ruins. Mexico
Chichén Itzá, from Yucatec Maya: Chi'ch'èen Ìitsha' (at the mouth of the well of the Itza) was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archaeological site is located in the municipality of Tinum, in the Mexican state of Yucatán.
Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the Northern Maya Lowlands from the Late Classic (c. AD 600–900) through the Terminal Classic (c. AD 800–900) and into the early portion of the Postclassic period (c. AD 900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.
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.
