El Castillo

Also known s the temple of kukulka, its was built by the mayans but there was worked added on during the 1920-1930 after more digging took place. There was another room deep in the temple that held a jaguar. This was a temple dedicated to their go kukulka, the featherd serpant.

The temple was not only used for worship but was an actually calender. the stairs all added up to 365 which is one full year. there were other factors and numbers which set dates and times. this was a highly advanced temple/calender. Used for many religion and mathematicle advantages.

The design was ment so the the snakes on the sid eof the tmple lokked to me moving during the sun rise. ANd the sound quality was amazing. you could her somone at the top of the temple speaking in a nromal voice. There were many visitors each year to see this huge temple that stood 75ft.

Unfourtuaently there was an accident. None is alowwed to go on the temple after fall that a women took to her death. but before you were allowed to go up and in the temple. Most mad the hard climb and some didnt due the size and steepness of the massive temple.

Some couldnt bare going in the dark underbell because of the heat. other loved to see the jaguar made of jade. This temple was at the center of the city. so before you couldnt climb. You would have been able to see the city's full amazing veiw.
