Answer 1

Hi,

This  is not for sure, however, at the present time it is believed that Chichen Itza was the center of the Mayan Culture. There are a lot of out laying sites that have only been partially uncovered.

The best way the experience this site is over-night. Rent a car at the Cancun Airport and take the Toll Road to Chichen Itza there is an exit sign right on the toll road. Spend at least one night at the ruins, the site is very large. The more time you spend the more you will enjoy the experience. The resort is on line at mayanland resort. This place is located right at the ruins and they have their own entrance to the site. If you stay there you don't have to pay the entrance fee and you can beat the bus tours. Plus you can experience the night show that lights up El Castillo and explains the serpent. The ruins are full of structures to see and visit. The Ball Court and the Market Place are great sites. The Mayans and then the Toltec's ruled this area until Western Civilization entered the scene.

Enjoy

Chichén Itzá, one of the great cities of the Mayan culture, at the

present time archaeological deposit, to 29 km to the southwest of

Valladolid (Mexico) in the north of the peninsula of Yucatan. The

name, that means ' the mouth of the Natural wells of Itzá', derives

from the tribe itzá that it both occupied the territory and of

natural wells or natural wells that provided to water to the city and

around which was centered the religious and cultural life. Chichén

Itzá was founded at beginnings of the century I SAW d.C. by the

presence of numerous peregrinations to the great Natural well Sacred,

where sacrifices were offered to the God of Chac rain, and left

towards year 670. Reconstructed about three hundred years later, when

itzaes returned to the region, one became the most important city of

all the north of Yucatan and the center of the Mayan culture. Around

the year the 1200 city was conquered by the toltecas, invaders coming

from the north of Mexico, that promoted their development still more.

A century before the arrival of the Spaniards was left.

The main about 3 ruins occupy km2 of surface. The generalized type of

construction consists of a piramidal platform to which it is promoted

by ample stairs that lead to vaulted cameras, whose walls are covered

with reliefs, hieroglyphic inscriptions or paintings of alive colors.

Each construction is well-known by a name different, as it is the case

of the Game of Ball, religious game of symbolic character, formed by

two parallel walls of 83 ms of length and 9 of thickness, in addition

from another one to 36 m.s From 7 ms of the ground excels in both

walls a stone ring carved in form of two interlaced serpents. During

the game, the participants tried to introduce the ball by the ring.

Another important building is the Castle or temple of Kukulcán, Mayan

name of the God Quetzalcóatl tolteca-Aztec. The Castle is a great

temple located on a pyramid that occupies 4,000 m2 of surface and

reaches a height of 30 ms, with stairs in its four walls that lead to

the temple located in the top. The House of the Nuns, the Sacred

Natural well, the Temple of the Soldiers and the Caracol or Circular

Tower, probably an astronomical observatory, are other remarkable

buildings. In 1988, the archaeological rest of the old pre-Hispanic

city were declared cultural Patrimony of the Humanity
