One of the 7️⃣ wonders of the world is officially conquered!
Chichen Itza was founded by the Maya. It is thought to have been a religious, military, political, and commercial center that at its peak would have been home to 35,000 people.
The steps of the main pyramid, known as "El Castillo" or the Temple of Kukulkan, represent the days of the Mayan calendar, with each side having 91 steps, adding up to a total of 365 signifying the number of days in a year.
That’s what I’ve learned from our tour guide who spoke really fast interchangeably using Spanish and English.
