“Pyramid Of Kukulkan”


This is the famous Pyramid of Kukulkan in Chichinitza, Mexico. Chichinitza is the most famous of all Yucatan Mayan ruins. The ruins of Chichinitza lie about midway between Cancun and Merida.
According to Toltec history, in 987AD the legendary ruler Quetzalcoatl was defeated and expelled from Tula. He was last seen leaving from the Gulf coast on a raft of serpents. However, in the same year, Mayan stories recorded the arrival of a king named Kukulkan, the Serpent God, whose return had been expected. Kukulkan defeated the Mayan city tribes, and made. Chichinitza his capital.

The locals here are very friendly and very proud to be direct decedents of the Mayan culture...:cool:
