The remains of the pyramids, temples and
archaeological located in the city of Chichen Itza due to the people of the
Maya, who settled them and make it part of their empire since 750 AD and even
in 1200 AD.
And indicate the residue on the wonderful integration
between the two civilizations and two Mayan people and the civilization of the people of Toltec,
and perhaps the most prominent archaeological structures in Chichen Itza is
Mukolkan Temple or pyramid Alcasteo is
also known currently, which shows the progress of astronomy at the Maya where we find that the external structure of
the temple has a 365 degree, one for each day of the year in a corridor on each
side of the four sides while the same pyramid of 91 degrees on each side consists,
and is the Mayan people put calendar of
365 one side only aspects of their progress in astronomy, it is also surprising
that we find in the fall and spring when they fall sunlight on the pyramid
reflects the form under the snake, which cascade down throughout the day until
disappears Finally in the last class of the stairs and it said that the
astronomical skills of the people of the Maya exceeded much where it is believed they have
reached to predict eclipse the sun.
And was the only source of water in this great city, a
series of wells and Spanish records indicate that they were throwing girls and
their neighborhoods in the greater well as a sacrifice to the god of rain on
the belief that they will live in the bottom of the well and archaeologists
have found bones in the well in addition to gold jewelry and other valuables,
which were Decorated in the last journey of death in the bottom of the well.
And of the most prominent monuments in the city is
also playground ball (Chichén Itzá's ball court), which is the largest in the
Americas, with a length of 168 meters and currently 70 meters, which was spin
the Games and is a that there is Virgin and tries each pay team rubber ball
with a weight of 5 kg of the Ring Stone Thread on the walls of the court and
the competition was very fierce because the losers were executed.
Chichen Itza city was not just a religious center only and but I was
also a center of culture and regional trade, but after centuries of prosperity
and accommodate many other cultures and especially the Toltec exposed the city to end a mysterious where
archaeologists found that the people of Chichen Itza left and went to the forest in spite of
architecture and art out and some of them believe that because of the drought
or the fact that the soil cumbersome no longer suitable for agriculture Portal
recently awarded this place of honor another where they were to vote in all
parts of the world that become one of the new seven wonders of the world.
As for how to go there, we find that the international
available bus service from the airport in Merida and It takes less than two hours or from
Cancun and the distance takes about two
hours and a half and for the times of the visit, we find that the
archaeological site is open seven days a week and But your visit during the
spring and fall will be able to see under the serpent throughout the day as we mentioned
earlier, but also find chapters crowded with tourists too, and with regard to
stay there, the stay in the city of Chichen Itza helps to enjoy the visit
raised in the early morning before the arrival of tourists from cities

offer voice and light at the site.
