Chichen Itza's Famous Pyramid is Actually Two Pyramids
HTML-код

- El Castillo, or the Temple of Kukulcan, is 98 feet tall and has 365 steps. What you can't see from the outside is the original, much smaller pyramid that acted as a foundation.

I climbed this temple in 2005. It was both an exciting and frightening experience. A climbing ban was put on it in 2006 after an 80-year-old woman fell from the steps, unable to grab onto the safety rope. She died from her injuries. Many of the other pyramids were closed as well, but not all.
Amazing. If only you had some of it on video it would make a hell of a RUclips video but obviously that would’ve been dangerous.
Someone always has to ruin it. Still RIP
Okay but with all due respect... what was the 80 year old lady thinking 🤦🏻♂️ she actually thought she was strong enough to climb up there…. It’s really hard!, even for us young people
@@danilojoaoandrade2284 she propably didn't give a fuck. She was 80 and she was going to climb then or never.
Wtf why would u go intere tf me as a Guatemalan I think is disrespectful bc my ancestors are Mayans and in Guatemala we have a huge respect for that not anymore can go on them idk why they allow it that’s so disrespectful.
I just visited it a few days ago, if you are planning to go there here are a few tips in case you didn't know:
1) It is extremely hot, bring lots of water and/or drinks, they don't sell drinks there. I seen an ambulance drive by to address a dehydrated girl. Also don't wear too many layers obviously.
2) If you want to climb or touch the pyramid, you can't, because some jackass a few years ago did graffiti on it and therefore no one can even touch this ancient work anymore. They want to protect the piece.
3) Book the tour on a at least partially cloudy day, there are trees to get shade at but they are a little far, so looking at the pyramid on a sunny day was hell for me.
1 and 3 are not that good of advice because I got Powerade and water and chicken itza next to El Cenote Sageado and its not super hot it's just humid and you can't climb it anymore because someone slipped in 2005 and if you book a tour on a cloudy day it might rain and I can tell you from a Latino perspective
Darian damn you can’t even touch it?? I’m going in 2019
Jacobo Vazquez how rude and ignorant
They are exploiting the tourism and ruining the site
Its Mexico and yes it's hot but not to hot. And the sell drinks oh theres even a restaurant
3d model animations are fantastic and really detailed! are those available anywhere?
In person is real and powerful....Go see it.
Update! There's a third temple in there
Well now this video makes me wonder how they built the smaller pyramid inside.
Ancient aliens
They built the small one first then the big one on top years later
I was just there a few days ago . Now they say there is 3 pyramids in total
Yeah heard the same during my guide last week.
It’s actually 3 pyramids
The Castillo is Toltec, not Mayan. It belongs to the PostClassic period, after the Toltecs invaded the Maya area. This is not a scientific report at all.
That's right. I understand that they have to simplify things when addressing the layman, but saying that El Castillo was built by the Maya is flat-out inaccurate.
@@milozb8022 yes these are toltec style ruins.
1:02 .... we are only seeing the top.
Incredible that Chakmool is inside with the Jaguar God!!!
This just blew my mind
Hey look the ancient ruins from sonic adventure
I'm getting some uncharted feelings
Same
How do they know what's inside the first pyramid?
There's tunnels inside that lead to it, you can even see it on RUclips
ruclips.net/video/MTDe1jxqkCM/видео.html
And there's at least 3 pyramids built there, they found another smaller pyramid inside using 3D scanning.
Was there last week.. unfortunately your not allowed to climb the steps anymore
A place I want to see.
I Love My Pyramide
Amazing animation.
Yo, and also, just discovered, that there is another one in the 2nd one under that one, and, in that ones is another, and under that is a cenote, like holy fuck, this is crazy
Mexico 🇲🇽
How they builded it & can withstand earth quakes.?
Mind blowing graphics

Hey me too!
Nigrum Romanum same but shame you can't climb it anymore
Jacobo Vazquez your wrong in 2005 someone died going down the stairs(most likely fell down the stairs)
Chicken pizza
Interesting
Mayans were the descendants of ancient Vedic rishis.
Hey dumbass . The Vedic Rishis existed far beyond 3000 BC back when there was no Mayan civilisation. Neither are there any ancient records of Mayan influence. The geography mentioned in the Rig Veda which is older than the Mayan civilisation is wholly Indian. So your theory doesn't hold out. Further recent genetic evidence suggests the R1a1a haplogroup gene out of India.
They have a lot to do with. There was a lot of trade between Hindus and Mayans. There is also elephant inscriptions in certain Mayan cities. Elephants are not native to America. Not just that there seems to be similarities between the Mayan and Hindu calendar except that the Hindu calendar still continues to this date. Pyramidic temples are also found in Cambodia . The only reason to support the Vedic origins of Mayans are some early migration of India through the Bering Strait, is simply because the Hindu texts are still surviving for over 5000-6000 years and the Mayans have not. Second reason is the trading evidence between the two civilisations. You only have the architecture, we have the metaphysics behind the architecture as well.
Also there were more than 24 ancient universities in India much before the Greeks. So it is not improbable as the cradle of human civilisation was with the Indians and Chinese. However, the Chinese have destroyed their own culture while India have resisted despite arabic invasions, colonial domination .The fact that the knowledge still lives on is a testament. The pyramid is essentially what is known as a Mandala where the central point is the energy centre of transformation. This is mentioned in the Agama Shastras which are given by the Vedic sage Agasthya. All mandalas follow the same structure. So if not descendants there was surely enough trade for the knowledge to outflow.
@@sadenb If that is true then why are there no step.pyramids in India and what monument or state are the depictions of elephants in Mexico?
There's 3
Kukulcan?? Is that the god from smite? 😂
Yes, it means snake nest in Mayan I think.
