Chichen Itza is one of the 7 (new) wonders of the world. Mayan culture.
The large complex is mainly hosting this pyramid, multiple stages for ceremonies, a playground, a palace, etc.
Built in about 9th century.
Most of the structures have crushed snakes carving, real human skulls were hosted earlier, and it’s carving – representing overpowering, killing of enemies.
Eagles and Jaguars are their sacred animals.
One of the stage is hosting Venus. Now that’s western interpretation, but linking it to Hindu history, Shukra was the guru of Asuras/Daitya. While Guru was the guru of Suras.
The main pyramid has a pyramid inside it and that has one more inside it. Possibly representing constructions by further powered generations later on. None of these are accessible to public.
The top pyramid has 91 steps and one at the top totalling 365 = days of the year. Remember the Mayan calendar which ended on 2012-Dec.
On the two equinox days of the year, the shadow of the top looks like a Snake coming down the stairs. The followers believe the Snake god will come out of the structure, win all enemies (or do something) and go down to the Patal lok.
Now, in our history, we do have similar descriptions… Patal lok is the kingdom of Takshak, which is the 4th layer below the ground which is Manav Lok. And if you cross Patal Lok, it’s the Daitya Lok there. Also, heard that India and America are on the opposite sides of the globe so if one diggs down below the Indian soil, would reach to Daitya Lok = America.
Mayan seems to be poojak of the Sun and Moon Gods.
