I’ve never seen anything about Mayan/Aztec culture on this channel, hopefully they continue to show more

Just went here today amazing got to say my ancestors made these amazing civilizations and buildings👏

So they play "tlachtli" and the losing team gets sacrificed? Talk about a high stakes game

Winning team was actually sacrificed, they would have to drink a mix of phsycadelics that would get them super high and they had to have their back broken and chest cut open but since they were really high they wouldn’t feel anything

It's a beautiful place in person.. playa del carmen is beautiful.. all the cenotès, just everything!

Visited this Wonder of the world on my Birthday! Awe inspiring!

Absolutely loved this place! I went on a spiritual journey / Solo Trip to Yucatán and Chichen Iza was the best spiritual awakening I ever experienced! Such a magical place, I was blessed to have the best tour guide as well. One thing they said about the ball game was that they’re were captains of each team with a club on that platform just under the hoop, the winner was actually sacrificed but was volunteer for it as it was one of the highest honors and straight path to heaven. The acoustics there were something that can only be heard in person absolutely amazing! I highly recommend anyone of Mayan decent go back to the homeland and learn and experience it. I actually decide to quit ny job and am moving to Playa del Carmen in two weeks. I’d really like to be a tour guide for a side gig.

So amazing! I've always wanted to visit Chichen Itza.

i just went there last week! such a beautiful place with so much history. pictures and videos don't even do it justice. when you see the temple with ur own eyes, it's magnificent.

Enjoyed your video! We were in Chichen Itza two days ago. It is a fascinating place to visit. The Mayan dancers at lunch were incredible.

Wow!! I love Mayan history. They were so ingenious and innovative!

Wonderful video. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see the beauty of this city 🙏❤ Greeting from IRAN 🇮🇷

Went here through the cruise line on my honeymoon , loved it

So the El Dorado animation movie was inspired in this. Wow.

Thank you see u in history for the video

The winers would get sacrifice not the losing. the team that wins want to get sacrificed socthey can challenged the Gods of chibalba but they must go through 9 stages of the underworld to reach chibalba God.

Can we get more aztek and japanese videos! Love you guys👍

Nice video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The Mayans believed that being sacrificed was an honor. The winning team was actually the one that got sacrificed

I'm going to bust the myth of winning or losing players being sacrificed. While playing pok ta pok aka tlachtli, neither were sacrificed during the game, except if the game was being played strategically, instead of going to war against a city. In this instance, teams from both cities would play each other and the leader of the losing team may be killed, although often they were allowed to live as long as the losing city would supply the winners with a quantity of jade, obsidian or other special goods. Much like today, killing your prize athletes/warriors was counterproductive, especially since the game was used for strategy. The other exception was if prisoners of war (warriors) were captured, they would be allowed to play the game to decide their fate.

Climbed this twice. First time in 1988 when the rope wasn't there.

Thank you sir ☺️

It's amazing I ve never seen anything about Mayan

I am thankful we have lots of history in India too ..

I love to visit the World..

1:19 that’s the Aztec calendar

2:37 The Losing Team Was Sacrificed, Waoo... Imagine Trying To Become A Popular Athlete,Working So Hard Just To Die Because Of A Poor Match!😆

I was just there, recently. It’s a site to see if you haven’t had the chance to visit! Please do so. Unfortunately, they stop letting people go up the kulkukkan pyramid! I believe someone fell and died in 2005.

Amazing!

Mi México lindo❤

Very nice video

I'm thankful that my parents took me to Cancun twice as a kiddo. I got to climb it before it was off limits.

The "ha'ab calendar" you showed was actually the Aztec sun stone.

I've been there , it's the winning team that gets sacrificed. A gift for the gods , the best of the best .

Correction: Kukulkan was built in 12th century AD. Not BC.

The mayans were ahead in in everything they did we are living by their calendar system

Aztec and Mayan civilization: *exists* Spanish Empire: "IT'S FREE REAL ESTATE".

You have a couple of things wrong. 1. It’s not a pyramid it’s a TEMPLE. 2. During the equinox ,when the sun hits the temple, the Northern-Left corner casts a shadow on the stairway and creates the image of a serpent winding DOWN. The snake appears slowly descending with the sun representing Kukulcan’s descent from the sky to the underworld. 3. The ITZA people who were a particular group of Maya inhabited the city.

Ancient structures: exist Tourists: *I'M GONNA WRECK IT*

I like how he skipped over the sacrifice part like he didn’t just say that

I heard it was the winners who were the ones that got their head dismembered because it was looked upon as a holy sacrifice so they were more than honored to be the sacrifice.

Ramses and nefirititi please!!!!

Another interesting fact there are 4 other upside down pyramids under El Castillo because the supporting it underground because it was built over a cenote. They discovered a plethora of different treasures there and another pyramid is inside it to!

You should do shout outs

I video taped myself walking to the top of El Castillo in 1983. I must have exclusive video because I haven't seen any other.

Kyu couq kon. - You cook on? Did they cook the blocks before or after placing them though?

cool

My idiot of a brain made me think it said "chicken pizza".

We were gods till europeans arrived 😔🤙

👍👍👍

I would love an open world video game based on this setting and time

Who remember the move movie of Doremon which was about Mayan culture

Could you feature the Raiju

I was there a few months ago. It's a shame that you can no longer go up the pyramid. Everything is gated off now.

please put english captions next time. it would be a great help

Wow it looks like the new Observatorys

2:55 the temple of warriors almost looks similar to the building structure of the Detroit institute of arts. (DIA) it’s stair case reminds me of the fountain and the single statue located at the top of the temple is similar to the DIA’s two statues at the front entrance. Ironically, the mascots for Detroit’s university are the WARRIORS, so god really does have a sense of humor.

1:00 is where Kroak rests

You should make a video on dante's inferno. Not the game

The apocalypse has not completely took over yet

Chichen Itza Pizza We deliver .. i'm sure I'm the only one who is here because they're baby sister had them watching the backyardigans 😂

The winner was sacrificed. They only wanted the best and strongest warrior for the god to bring rain for the crops. That's what a local Mayan guy in a small village about 20 minutes outside the ruins told me.

2:37 I thought it was more peaceful than the aztec but at least their ball is not a head.

What is inside there

2:50 any bodies in those columns?

Sacrificed for losing a football match Chelsea player's please don't go to Mexico😂😂

Usually the Feathered Serpent is refered to as Quetzalcoatl, but K'uk'ulkan and Q'uq'umatz are rarer

Bad good video

Kukulcan built in the 12 century BC? You might want to check that.

That calendar is Aztec

So this was the basis of one piece skypiea ark

I wonder how many people and animals were sacrificed on top of this pyramid

So I just got back from here and actually it was the winning team that was sacrificed it was thought that the strong would be The best candidates to sacrifice

WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE.. THIS IS TURTLE ISLAND

No hands in the ball game because they were tied ..maybe captives playing for freedom.imo

According to google the site was built in the 10 century and not 12 century BC

We need to deal with this 'statistical fluctuation' at CERN, Chichen Itsa is great and fully-operational (Rascar Kapac)... There's no excuse, someone will just take your job if you ae incompetent... CND

FLIIP THE PYRAMID UPSIDE DOWN INSIDE OUT AND YOU GET SQUARE BOX TEMPLE WITH STEP GOING FROM BOTHSIDE TOP DOWN INSIDE....A SQUARE BOX WITH INVERT PYRAMID AT PETRA

Caracol means snail in spanish

Dam. Imagine playing that game and being down by 10. 😂😂

Those being sacrificed: what a waste..

I thought they killed the captain of the winning team

Chichen itza in Chechen means the house of the Chechens

The most wondrous thing in the world is human knowledge and usages of atoms

EVEN SQUARE TOWER IN BALBEK ARE THERE

It is in 7 wonders of world

btw so many facts are wrong, like with the game they played they didn’t assassinate the other, the goal scorer in this game would be sacrificed and it would be looked as a good thing to score, the other team and 6 players on the team that won would go back and live there normal lives, it shows you this at the actual site with amazing stone carvings

I thought the winning team was sacrificed?

Wasnt it that the winnig team was sacrificed ?

4D DOOR CUT OUT OF MOUNTAIN SIDE IN PETRA AND AMERICA

I thought it was the winners that got sacrificed

EVEN EGYPT NEFERTITI STEP MOUNTAIN TEMPLE

Kukulcan aka Quetzalcoatl

I like Tikal more. no I'm not a sonic fan , YOU are a sonic fan !

The winning team got sacrificed not the losing team ?? This guy is confused

did I hear 12th century bc? that's not correct by a long shot...

*It was a honor for the winner to be sacrificed.I took the tour.............

If you would of went on the tour you would of learned that that winner was sacrificed by the loser. It was a honor to die and have the winners blood 🩸on the ground it was giving homage to the GODS. When the game is over Mayans prepared a potion that was dranked by the winner. It made the winner unconscious..While the loser cut the winner head off. Telling listeners that winners killed losers is totally cap. I advised traveling to the sights you talking about. Or more extensive research. I just went on the tour 7/15/22 so it’s still fresh

What language was spoken by Maya people
