    Ever since I was young I was very drawn to Aztec and Mayan culture...feels like home/paradise in a way.

    When I visited chichen itza my skin tingled and I felt at home. It was a 3 hour drive from Cancun but it was sooo worth it. I wanna go back soon❤

    "it is not chicken pizza, not chichen itza, its chichÈn itzÁ". (a local guide, mayan descended, taught us how to correctly pronounce the name of the city with this little rhyme. he was so much fun, very passionate about his heritage and the temples.)

    Both Chichen Itza and Tulum are amazing and beautiful places. I visited it when you could still climb to the top (it’s off limits now because it’s really dangerous). The ruins in Tulum are right on the beach. I can’t wait to go back, such magical places.

      Tulum is a beautiful and peaceful place. Although I was in awe of Chichen Itza, it has a dark, disturbing tenor about it. It was almost unsettling.

      @@dangre00 Yeah you’re right now that I think about it. I remember riding in a Jeep through the jungle to the site. It’s was a dark, long and twisty ride that gives one lots of time to think about human sacrifice. 😳😱
      Tulum ruins are just straight up magical, just not as notorious as CI.

    I wounder if that statue depicting a person in an almost laying type position cradling a round object is really a symbolic depiction of a woman showing how her unborn child has been removed from her body and was removed & taken by aliens. It's interesting that this carved statue is at a that site & very close to a Pyramid that's said to have been developed by aliens and the whole connection with Myan Culture and together from what we know know about these ET beings and there possible influence on our Species for a very long time.

    Just came from the tour. Some tourists managed to pee from the top of the pyramid and write their names on the walls. So they had to wrap up the climbing. Very impressive but not very spiritual for me, cause looks like many humans have been sacrificed here.

    Kukulkan is the same god Quetzalcoatl as Enki… offspring off the Nephilim. 200 Nephillim gave offsprings Gods… sacrifices where not made until the second generation of the Atoltecayotl culture. There is no proof about the sacrifices ..
