The name comes from the water hole, the so-called \u201choly cenote\u201d (Cenote Sagrado), just near the Kukulkan Temple. Chichen Itza was founded as early as the 6th century AD and it flourished between 600 and 1200 AD. However, the most important building of the archaeological site, the famous\u00a0<strong>pyramid of the Mayan god Kukulkan<\/strong>, was completed only around 1200.

Mysteriously it tells of long-forgotten Mayan knowledge; shows elements of mathematics, astronomy, geometry and acoustics. In perfect symmetry, the most important building of the archaeological site of Chichen Itza represents a Mayan calendar, the Haab. That\u2019s what the Maya solar calendar is called. A Haab year consists of 18 months with 20 days and one month with 5 days. Just like in our Gregorian calendar, this results in a 365-day year. On each of the four sides of the Kukulkan pyramid, 91 steps lead upwards. 364 steps plus the final block, containing a temple, represents the number of days in a year. Interestingly, there are 4 figures on top, they are remaining of originally 20. Twenty is the number of days in a Mayan month. On each side were 5 figures to see, but unfortunately, they are no longer preserved. Five is also an important number in Mayan mathematics. The Maya counted with hands and feet in twenties, 5 fingers per hand, 5 toes per foot. Thus, the months in the Mayan calendars have 20 days.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;

Interestingly, there are 4 figures on top, they are remaining of originally 20. Twenty is the number of days in a Mayan month. On each side were 5 figures to see, but unfortunately, they are no longer preserved. Five is also an important number in Mayan mathematics. The Maya counted with hands and feet in twenties, 5 fingers per hand, 5 toes per foot. Thus, the months in the Mayan calendars have 20 days.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;gcid-6c54e481-fa06-4aa1-93d3-5427da76ceaf&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|40px|30px|40px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;30px|40px|30px|40px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;gcid-144403d4-8abe-4058-8ee4-b79e37959cea&#8221; border_style_all=&#8221;dotted&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6c54e481-fa06-4aa1-93d3-5427da76ceaf%22:%91%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22%93,%22gcid-144403d4-8abe-4058-8ee4-b79e37959cea%22:%91%22border_color_all%22,%22border_color_all%22,%22border_color_all%22,%22border_color_all%22%93}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>This might also be of interest:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/private-chichen-itza-tours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-&gt; Private Excursions to Chichen Itza<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/tequila-mexico\/\">-&gt; The best Tequila from Mexico<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/cozumel-tours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-&gt; The best Cozumel Excursions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/riviera-maya-excursions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-&gt; Riviera Maya Excursions\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;33px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kukulkan_god_of_the_feathered_serpent\"><\/span><strong>Kukulkan, god of the feathered serpent<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/leontours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-Chichen-Itza.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Riviera Maya: Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins temple Kukulkan&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Riviera Maya: Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins temple Kukulkan&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0<strong>Cosmo vision of the Maya \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0their view of the world \u2013 the earth is by no means a globe or disk.

Since the indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica have influenced each other, similar gods can be found there. For example, the\u00a0<strong>Aztecs<\/strong>\u00a0know the god of the feathered serpent under the name\u00a0<strong>Quetzalcoatl<\/strong>. \u00a0 On the left side of the pyramid you can see two serpent heads at the level of the lower stones. They belong to a phenomenon that was discovered only in the eighties. The pyramid of Kukulkan is so brilliantly calibrated, that when day and night have the same length, an impressive spectacle takes place. Every year around March 21 and September 22, the god Kukulkan descends the steps of the temple in a play of light and shadow. Because at sunset, the shadows form the body of a snake crawling down the stairs. The spectacle is so impressive that it is now copied with light effects at night. There are theories that the goal of the god is the holy cenote, which is about 300 meters straight ahead. There numerous human sacrifices were found, which were probably mainly given to honor the rain god Chaac.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Chichen Itza &#8211; small but beautiful<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/leontours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5-Chichen-Itza.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Excursions to Chichen Itza: Riviera Maya&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Excursions to Chichen Itza: Riviera Maya&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/leontours.com\/en\/private-chichen-itza-tours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Excursion to Chichen Itza<\/a>: Temple of Kukulkan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>With a height of 30 meters, the pyramid of Kukulkan is relatively small compared to other historical ruins. The Mayan ruin of Tikal, for example, has 47 meters and even the pyramid of Coba is 42 meters high. But its\u00a0<strong>symbolism and architecture<\/strong>\u00a0make Chichen Itza spectacular. Inside the pyramid of Kukulkan is a smaller but similarly shaped structure. There, in 1935, a figure called\u00a0<strong>Chac Mool<\/strong>\u00a0was found, and two years later, a\u00a0<strong>red jaguar<\/strong>\u00a0with eyes made of jade. While the outer temple was dated to the 11th century AD, the interior dates back to the 9th century AD. During a visit to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, you will notice many guides who clap their hands in front of the main building. They want to demonstrate to their visitors the ingenious acoustic construction. Because the clapping produces an echo that is very similar to the sounds of the sacred bird Quetzal. It is assumed that these and other acoustic elements have deliberately flowed into the construction.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chichen_Itza_%E2%80%93_a_true_magnet_for_the_crowds\"><\/span>Chichen Itza \u2013 a true magnet for the crowds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/leontours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6-Chichen-Itza.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Travel Guide Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Travel Guide Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>Mayan Ruins Chichen Itza: Travel Guide<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>A visit to the\u00a0<strong>Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza<\/strong>\u00a0is on the bucket list of almost every traveler.
