It is one of the main Mayan archaeological sites in
the Yucatan peninsula, in Mexico. It is located just
2.5 km from the town of Pisté, in the municipality of
Tinum, in the state of Yucatán. It consisted of a city
or a ceremonial center that went through various
construction periods of the different towns that
occupied it and that promoted it from its foundation.
An important vestige of the Mayan civilization, the
main constructions that remain there correspond to
the period called late classic or early postclassic
within the Mesoamerican Postclassic period.
It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage
List in 1988. On July 3, 2007, the Temple of
Kukulcan, located in Chichen Itza, was
recognized as one of the 7 wonders of the
modern world. According to Mayan mythology,
it is a jubilant Mayan representation of
Quetzalcoat.
Chichén Itzá is the name of the site, alluding to
the Itzaes, it means "mouth of the well of the
Itzaes"
Chichén Itzá was founded around the year 250 after Christ,
during "the first descent or small descent from the east" that
the chronicles refer to, by the Chanes of Bacalar (later called
Itzá and later Cocomes). Having established the Chanes the
capital of his government in Chichén Itzá at the appointed
time, coming from Bacalar, they continued their journey from
east to west in the Yucatán peninsula, after which they would
also found other important cities such as Ek Balam, Izamal,
Motul, TꞌHó, the current Merida de Yucatan, and Champoton.
We could say that these facilities or buildings were recreated
and demolished once, There was a union of priests called
mayapan but over time this union was destroyed due to bad
agreements and fights and wars that happened and was
provoked by the chiefs of some tribes of indigenous and due
to these problems they fled in the year 1194 before Jesus
and took refuge in Peten.
Unlike the beginning, when Chichén was founded, in which the Mayans who came from
the east sought peace and development for their people, settling in the Mayan name
that the region had before the arrival of the Spanish. 1000 years later, the region itself
had become a place of struggles and struggles.
In the fall, the elite consisted of warriors, priests, and merchants who ruled Chichén Itzá.
They had introduced the cult of the god Kukulcán. He had built impressive buildings with slopes
and vertical walls and representations of the bird-serpent god who came from outside.
