Chichen Itza's Temple of Kukulcan,
Chichen Itza's Temple of Kukulcan, also known as El Castillo was built over a thousand years ago by the ancient Maya civilization.
The step-pyramid was constructed to honour the Mesoamerican serpent god Kukulcan.
But it was not just a place of worship; the pyramid showcases the Maya's impressive knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, and calendar systems. Find out what is inside, why people flock here during the spring equinox, and what acoustic phenomenon occurs when you clap near it.
