The Kukulcán Pyramid or El Castillo (The Castle) - Chichen Itza
The place Chichen itza has it name
Titten visited his number 6 of the new 7 wonders in a state in Mexico just outside Cancun. He now just miss Petra in Jordan. Hope he can be able to see that next year. Chichen itza or chicken pizza like i like to call it was loads of new impression stones. Not as impressive as other locations Titten have seen but still good.
Short about Chicken Pizza from wikitravel: Chichen Itza was a center of pilgrimage for the ancient Maya for over 1,000 years. The Sacred Cenote (a large natural well or limestone sink hole) was holy to the ancient Rain God "Chac". About 987 ruler of the Toltec people of central Mexico came here, and with his Maya allies made Chichen Itza the most powerful city in the Yucatan. The ruler called himself "Kukulcan", the name of the Mesoamerican Feathered Serpent deity (also known as "Quetzalcoatl") and Chichen Itza became a center for worship of that god as well. More buildings were built here in a mixture of Maya and Toltec styles.
