Mayan Ruins of Chichen Itza by Market Friday

Chichen Itza 1 edited.jpg


Chichen-Itza one of the most important examples of the Mayan-Toltec civilization in Yucatan. It is also home to quite a few architectural and natural wonders of the world. Some of them include the Great Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors and the Sacred Cenote, to name a few.

The most recognizable structure in this 4-mile site is the Temple of Kukulkan or El Castillo. This step pyramid exemplifies just how accurate Maya astronomy is. El Castillo has 91 steps on each side, multiplied by 4 sides is exactly 364 and the top platform makes the 365th. The same number as what is in a year. Coincidence? I think not.

Devising a 365-day calendar was just one feat of Maya science. Incredibly, twice a year on the spring and autumn equinoxes, a shadow falls on the pyramid in the shape of a serpent. As the sun sets, this shadowy snake descends the steps to eventually join a stone serpent head at the base of the great staircase up the pyramid’s side. The Maya’s astronomical skills were so advanced they could even predict solar eclipses, and an impressive and sophisticated observatory structure remains on the site today. source


Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. Today we will visit the ruins of Chichen Itza, a Mayan Built Temple in Central Mexico. It is amazing to see the different markets and cultural events of our friends here on Hive.


chichen itza map 2.jpg


This is the map of the entire site, giving you an idea of how it is laid out. It was an amazing place, where you can observe the sophisticated Mayan life. You can see by the map pictured above that this was sacred to the Maya. This approximately 4-mile area was the center of a sophisticated urban center of their empire from A.D. 750 to 1200.

I did not get a picture of it, but, a small domed building called the Caracol, was being renovated and covered when I was there. There are small windows through it, which the stars, moon, and planets could be observed. This is evidence of the Mayans' highly developed astronomical skills. They invented amazingly accurate calendar systems and relied on astronomy to tell them when to plant, harvest, etc. This is part of the reason the Mayans are seen as such a highly developed people, in conjunction with the hieroglyphic writing they devised and their ability to create this city without the help of metal tools, animals, or the wheel.

This is called the Group of a Thousand Columns and is a large area that has the shape of an irregular quadrilateral, and is about 150 meters long, located close to what some call the Market or Mercado. The older buildings are located to the south, behind the newer section of the city. Even after the newer building came into existence, these buildings still remained in use.

The columns are amazingly straight and aligned, one to another. What an engineering feat! The Market is a seventy-six meter-long raised portico filled with alternating square and rounded columns stretching east and west; its center is a square building with tall, rounded columns that would have originally supported a roof of wood and/or thatch. The Market (El Mercado) was named as such by the early Spanish colonists who were exploring the site; they felt its dimensions and design resembled a typical Spanish open marketplace. In reality, however, this building likely functioned as a council hall or place for religious ceremonies. Three large metates found in the interior area may have been used for preparing feasts or designed to be symbolically evocative of domestic areas in noble houses.

Look at the mortar on these things!! Stone pillars from traders market section. I had noticed this in one of the earlier photos and wondered how on earth they did it! Can you imagine being the one to slip the chips in to keep the columns level? Wonder how many fingers were left behind in the process?

Chichén Itzá also boasts the biggest Mayan ball court in all of Mesoamerica. It has plenty of carvings showing the violent end of the game, which included human sacrifice. It's not clear, however, whether it was the losing or the winning team that had to join the gods after the game. The ball game played an important ceremonial role in Mayan society. It seems as if it had special significance in Chichén Itzá since there are 13 ball courts throughout the site. Judging from carvings and other art, it was played with a rubber ball, using only hips and elbows. To really appreciate this part of the complex, imagine yourself playing to the death, trying to bang a ball through the hoops way up there, using your hip! It seems almost impossible to score at the ball court in Chichén Itzá, so maybe only the most skilled players were allowed to play at this important religious center. The ball court is another example of the Mayans' highly evolved building skills. The acoustics are spooky. You can hear someone talking in a normal voice from one end of the 168-meter long court to the other. If you’re by the hoops the echo of a clap will sound seven times. Just outside the Ball Court, you'll find the Lower Temple of the Jaguars, where it's still possible to make out some of the colors on the walls. source


IMG_0579 edited.JPG


About twenty meters in front of the staircase facing the ball court is a "clap zone" There are several places throughout the ruin complex where an echo effect is heard. I should have been listening to a little more carefully...I took a quick trip to the bottom on one of the sets that you could walk up. They are only 4 1/2 inches and I was watching someone take a picture of me and tripped. Good thing I was almost all the way down. They ARE steep!

This pyramid offers a challenging climb and a breathtaking view over the jungle. This ruined city has several hundred buildings, of which about 30 have been fully restored. Some have been partially restored and others are still covered with the vines and bushes of the jungle.

Located at the northern end of the Great Ballcourt is the Platform of Venus (Plataforma de Venus) This three-tiered temple opens into a sanctuary at the top flanked by two large round columns. This platform is north of El Castillo and was dedicated to the planet Venus. Inside the platform is a large collection of large cones carved out of stone. Archeologists are unsure of their purpose.

The elaborately carved platform is located on the central plain between the Temple of Venus and the Platform of Skulls. The pedestals that top the platform are crowned with serpent many heads


IMG_0609 edited.JPG


This platform-shaped structure is believed to have been used to display the heads of captured warriors and human sacrifices. This habit of displaying heads, sometimes on poles, was still in use when the Spaniards arrived, leading them to judge the Mayans as savages.

Platform of the Eagles is a low platform with a talud-tablero (slope-panel) base. Serpent heads protrude from the cornice just under the top of the platform. There was never a permanent structure built to top off the Platform of the Eagles and it was likely used for public address or performances, such as dance or sacrifice. The book actually called a sacrifice a performance. Oh, my!

Chichén Itzá's ball court is the largest known in the Americas, measuring 554 feet (168 meters) long and 231 feet (70 meters) wide. Players tried to hit a 12-pound (5.4-kilogram) rubber ball through the (above) stone-scoring hoops set high on the court walls. I can guarantee the competition was fierce as losers were put to death.


Carvings that tell a story, and not always a good one!

In 1988, Chichen Itza became a World Heritage site. Currently, in a worldwide vote, it was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. In the 1400s people abandoned Chichén Itzá and went far into the jungle, leaving behind such amazing works of architecture and art. Nobody knows why, but one can only speculate that drought, exhausting the soil, and quests for a conquest exhausted the city, leading to their downfall.

Simply love the history, all the lessons taught from one great visit with excellent photography Denise.

Lessons from what you describe.

Humans can exist without use of many tools by using their brains and hands, no need of animal abuse either.

Nature takes back her own in no time, still unraveling ruins from the forest.

Man must learn from history, taking too much from the land will lead to our own demise, learn to co-exist with fauna and flora stop being greedy!

@tipu curate

Thank you for the words! Isn't it true? Whenever I see these old marvels of the world, you have to wonder how they build these structures without any modern technology or tools! It has to make scientists scratch their heads as we muck up our world trying to duplicate just some of what they have accomplished.

Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement you fling across the waves here. You are one of the kindest most supportive people here, not only to me but, to all. It is surely appreciated.

Hive on, woman! :) Mother Nature is watching you as you try to save a piece of our world.

#MarketFriday loves you!

Buildings like this show intelligence we yet have to fathom out, my niece visited a couple of years ago was totally fascinated by structures. Nice seeing and learning a lot more through your lens!

Perhaps one day we will cross the big blue to visit, for now... well enjoying local!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for friendship Denise.

Thank you! You are the glue that keeps us all together, Joan. I think it would be interesting for you to cross over, but, you have done Europe, so I think you got the best of the best once that is said and done.

I lived in Europe and loved the fact that it was so small, the travel from one country to the next was not terrible. Especially after the US.

I hope you are having a nice week and sorry for the late reply!

Thoroughly enjoyed travel, nothing like home... although of late I am questioning that too. Well one way or another seen a lot and enjoyed each minute now to settle and share the UK side of the trip one day.

Would love to travel US, Canada and Alaska by train, who know perhaps an undertaking via a broom 😁

Hugs and have a great day Denise.

Thank you @tipu and @joanstewart

#MarketFriday loves you!

I am always struck by how the ancients made such advances in science and engineering. Makes me wonder how much was gained organically or was it given some other way... 😏

Great photos. I need about another 100 years to study all the things I would like to know more about!

Agreed! At least another 100 years, right? The ancients have always fascinated me with the advanced architecture and methods they do things. So very advanced. It seems we are so behind!

I thank you for stopping by and leaving your words! I hope you are having an amazing evening!

Hey, @dswigle.

Chichen Itza is one of my favorite places to visit. Went down with a friend from work the first time and then again with my wife several years later. Both very incredible experiences. The acoustics at the ball court is simply amazing. We weren't with a tour, but one of the guides demonstrated the echoes (I believe seven) that literally bounced off different points of the walls. The most incredible thing, though, was when my friend went to one end of the ball court and me on the other and I could hear him speaking normally as if I were right next to him. That' s a distance of 168 meters or 551 feet! Totally freaky!

It's too bad that they haven't allowed climbing the pyramid for sometime. I understand they mimic the solstices at night with some kind of light show so tourists don't have to wait. Not exactly the same, I'm sure, but plays to the amazing feat of architecture.

Chichen Itza, along with other prominent ruins, is indeed still a market place, since there are a lot of vendors wondering around, trying to hawk their wares. My wife liked bartering with them. I was more interested in the ruins. :)

Crawling into one of the saunas was cool. I liked The Observatory, and the whole idea of the knowledge they had about astronomy in general, and Cenote Sagrado was pretty incredible until we were told it was used for human sacrificing, although I guess that could be up to some debate.

I'd very much recommend Chichen Itza to anyone. I'd add Teotihuacan outside of Mexico City as a must see, too, just because of the pure scale of everything there. Enormous! As far as intact buildings and architecture goes, though, Chichen Itza is hard to beat.

Oh!!! Look who's here! Hello @glenalbrethsen! It has been a dog's age since I have seen your smiling face! :)

I have been there twice and I was totally taken by the ball court and the voices too!! Isn't that place the most incredible? I am in awe of them, they were such visionaries. I cannot for the life of me understand how they managed to execute the structures.

I didn't go with a guide either, but, had studied it before I went! Went to Chichen Itza first in 2005, so got to do the climb and they closed it in the next year, I believe. I believe a tourist fell to her death while climbing. It is pretty scary. I am not sure if any of them are still open.

I love to barter too! :) I already like your wife.

Yes, the sacrificing, does put one off a little bit, yet? :)) I love the culture and would love to continue researching the culture. It's fascinating! I love that you stopped by and I sure do miss seeing you around the blockchain!

Thanks again!!!!!

#MarketFriday loves you!

re: dog's age

I've been around. Mostly reading, though. Haven't done much of anything else. But when I saw what your post was about, well, I had to do more than just read. :)

re: execute the structures

If you mean build the structures, my guess would be slave labor. If you mean design or conceive of them, I'd just say it's amazing how much ancient people knew and took with them when they fell from prominence. I've read that medicine in particular is among those ancients' abilities that has been forgotten, or in our case, covered up because there's not as much of a profit.

re: 2005

Hmmm. My first trip was before that, February of 1996. Something like that. Don't remember climbing that particular pyramid then but I'm glad you were able to. I'm sure it afforded a spectacular view. :) I know for sure my wife and I didn't. By then, the integrity of the structure was the reason, or so we were told.

re: culture

It's tough to reconcile sometimes, how they could seem so technologically advanced in some ways and so backwards and savage in others. I suppose their civilization would be similar to ours: diverse with all kinds of beliefs, ethics and behaviors. There would be the forward thinkers and there would be those who wanted to hold onto the superstitions or traditions. Undoubtedly there were clashes between science and religion, since that seems to be an ongoing struggle.

What's obvious is, someone knew something about architecture, astronomy, civil engineering, city planning, irrigation, mining, etc. All these things that we think of as more modern methods, people were employing to some degree hundreds to thousands of years ago.

Very fascinating, indeed!

I still cannot wrap my head around the thought of how advanced they were all that time ago and then, there was a pregnant pause. It was almost like starting over again.

A place I wanted to visit, and WOW reading about the shadow of the serpent thats amazing

here is my post for this week https://peakd.com/marketfriday/@tattoodjay/market-friday-qxezhk

You would definitely love it. It is right up your alley. Much more improvement since I went. They have been pouring time into it, and some of it is shored up and some left for posterity. The serpent was really cool, but, wish I had been able to stay at night to watch the show!

Maybe next time!

Thanks so much for your kindness and for taking the time to make a nice comment and dropping your link! Have a wonderful weekend!

#MarketFriday loves you!

It is a place that has always been on my to visit list
I may never make it there but now I know a little more about it

I am so glad I was able to do that for you! I hope you are having a great night!

An early night it was but up and about now

Have a great day

Travel, history, and architecture! You amaze me, Denise! The mysteries of extinct civilizations fascinate our imagination, thanks for the images and information, but ...
I think this post would be better framed at #haveyoubeenhere with the first tag #marketfriday. As I did with today's post:

A Faithful Traveler

I know, I should have posted, out of solidarity, in the MarketFriday community, but the others pay better. Because everything is a market, isn't it, Denise?
I know you won't be mad at me, because you know I'm doing this just so I can say certain things (Because everything is a market). I mean our theme ...

Hi, Dan! I love the mysteries of extinct civilizations, they really stimulate my imagination and open up a sense of wonder within my soul. There was so much about this place that you would love, but, it is just another thing on the list of places to add to the list, right?

I don't belong to #haveyoubeenhere yet, although I know I should join. I am really okay with people tagging in another community, it is done all the time and I am okay with that. Truly. As long as I am tagged and #MarketFriday, it is all good.

Everything is a market! :) Yes! Thanks so much for suggesting the tag for me and I appreciate you dropping the tag!

#MarketFriday loves you!

Wow, so many beautiful photos from this iconic (and very familiar to me) place of Mexico :) Stunning piece by the Old Mayas. Breathatking, no matter how many times one visits this site...

That was so close to Playa! How lucky were you? It is a wonderous place, making me wonder all the more, "What happened to the Mayan culture?" A culture so advanced, you have to wonder how it could almost disappear without a trace.

I had the opportunity to visit Coba a few years ago. I didn't even know it existed and went there at the suggestion of someone I had met in Tulum.

I have to agree with you. Breathtaking, no matter how many times one visits this site. Thank you for stopping by.

#MarketFriday loves you!

Oh yeah, Coba is absolutely stunning too. Plus you can actually climb to the top of it, which comes with some spectacular views of the surrounding jungle :)

Amazing memories... Thank you.

Yes!! That is the one! The whole Yucatan is amazing. Of course, I don't have to tell you that. Great shots and the view is stunning.

I am sure that you have already made more memories than most people make in their entire lifetime. It is a great way to live!

Thanks for sharing your pictures!

My pleasure. Thanks for bringing those sweet memories back for me :)

For those who think that is not a big deal climb. Going up is nothing, but, coming down gives you reason to pause.

For a moment or three. :))

Exactly :)

Haha!! That's an honest mistake!! You must be hungry!!

The amazing Chichen-Itza! Thanks for bringing me back there with all these details. :) And here's my marketfriday from Spain.

Don't you love it there?? I could go back again and again. It is one of those places that doesn't get old. I am glad I could bring you back there! Oh, yes! Spain is one of my favorite places to be!

Especially, right about now! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words and dripping your link!

#MarketFriday loves you@

Of course, I meant dropping your link! :))

The Mayans had such a connection to the Earth using such advanced skills in astronomy/ astrolog. It is very conceivable that this advanced civilisation had some great secrets as to how and why they were so knowledgeable and skilled, even to contemplate influences of inter planetary life. Everything we can only imagine but never know for sure.

Isnt it just fascinating?? I am forever awed by these ancient civilizations that were so far ahead of their time, weren't they?

Thank you, Angie @angiemitchell for you thoughts. I feel the same and remain awed!

Always live to see you!

#MarketFriday loves you!

I think its a great place for any kind of architectural design, technical issue and may be its a wonderful place for being categorised under heritage site, just knowing from you, happy marketfriday friday.

Thanks so much for the words of your comment and for leaving your link behind. I hope you have a great weekend!

#MarketFriday loves you!

Looks like an amazing trip. Would love to get my drone out to some places like this for some aerial shots!

That would be so cool, but, no deal! If you wanted to bring your cell phone to the site, you had to pay extra as you did for the cameras. They didn't allow drones! Boo- Hiss!

I really want one. Now, everyone is banning them. You would still love it there! :))

Thanks for stopping by and just know, #MarketFriday loves you!

I read Chichen-Itza as chicken Itza so imagine my surprise when I arrived in the post and there wasn't a chicken in sight! Fortunately there was plenty of other good stuff so I stayed around and feel vindicated for doing so.

The Mayan civilisation is fascinating and when the world opens up to travel again is something I would like to experience for myself.

I never did see a chicken there, but, they did have a great feast going on at their market!

It is truly an amazing culture that was so advanced in architecture, astronomy, irrigation, and so on. I am in awe that there was so much out there, and yet, they disappeared, never to inhabit their cities again.

But, if you ever get the chance, you should go! There are several of them with Chichen Itza being the largest and best intact, but, Tulum is beautiful, if only because it is right on the seaside, and what a view! But they are all connected with roads that were built in that time frame. Thanks for always stopping by and leaving your words.

#MarketFriday loves you!

I'd love to make it happen and have every intention of doing it, chickens or no chickens! Lol.

I love delving into the past and I Mayan civilisation is one of the most fascinating for the reasons you mention. I'll make it happen someday. (Will even bring my own chicken if I have to.)

This is a place I've always wanted to visit, but I've saved Mexico and Canada for the chance when I may be living in the USA again. Your post is an excellent prep guide, exemplary my friend.

Thank you so much! I am hoping that you make it back to the States. I know that wasn't your first choice, but, it is a good choice, in my opinion for now, and a great jump-off for when life gets better. Right now, the job market is great for people who want to work.

If Canada is what you are looking at, I think it's equally as awesome.

I think when the time comes, it will be a place that you would enjoy. I marveled at the advanced minds of the Mayans!

Thanks for stopping by!

#MarketFriday loves you!

Now that's a Market for market friday! Awesome! It's amazing how we think of ourselves as so advanced, but there are so many old cultures that can probably still teach us a lot.

I'd love to have a modern super market look like that.

Right? I'm with you on that! I am in awe at those Mayans! They were so advanced, they make us look like mere mortals.

Le sigh.

I need a redo.

Take care @dswigle and have a nice day :)

Chicken Itza really is quite amazing and a great example of Mayan ingenuity. Their knowledge with astronomy and architecture blows me away. What an advanced culture, and then, for reasons unbeknownst to man, they disappeared Into the Night. I have to wonder what kind of advancements they would have made had they stayed in place. Thank you so much for stopping by and dropping your link!

Have a great week ahead!

#MarketFriday loves you!

It does make you believe that we are not alone seeing this left me in awe, I love seeing documentaries on UFO's they are a ministry :)

What a beautiful post! It is as if we were there with you!
I love history... and am amazed how of on few occasions we have not learned.
They are advance in thinking, I believe, and cannot understand why there are parts of the world that are still that are so lacking.
It is a place I would visit.
Thanks for bringing it to us sweet @dswigle!

The book actually called a sacrifice a performance. Oh, my!

The whole earthly life is a performance. The physical world is the theatre.

Yea, that was kind of yucky. ;)
