The Echoes of Chichén Itzá | Kukulcan (El Castillo) Quetzal Clapping

Sound on! The step pyramid Temple of Kukulcán at Chichén Itzá, Mexico, a 30m high structure built by the Pre-Columbian Maya civilisation sometime between the 8th - 12th century CE, demonstrates a peculiar acoustic phenomenon: clapping directly in front of it sends back an echo which sounds similar to the local quetzal bird, which was sacred to the Mayan people. Hear the temple's echo compared with the call of a quetzal bird in our video.

amazing. I read that different soudsources apart from clapping generate different sounds (not just Queztal) what sound must this temple have emitted when an entire city was bustling around it ?

@jonwesselink 2 жыл бұрын

I wonder as well if the general population of that time was aware of this or that the noises made from the hustle and bustle made them think there was a constant sound of their gods. Maybe if the community was not made aware of the sound then it could act as some sort of population control. I know the ball game they played did that in a way through the sacrifices. So fascinating. Another thing to check out is the temple of warriors that makes the sound of a rattle snake when you clap i think.

Since all races can intermarry and produce offspring which can reproduce offspring there is one human race. When fallen angels had children with humans the children were hybrids and could not reproduce because angels are not humans.

Don't forget the human sacrificing (including babies). Also, they were forever at war with their neighbors. They were some of the most violent cultures ever: Death and war, and occasionally some turquoise. That's about it.

thank you for sharing free information knowledge and wisdom from #StrawHat4DKingPirate and Solutions for Earth Catastrophe Cycle, #S4ECC2048. I think this must work with EMF waves too. I think the temple at the top of the pyramid might be approximately the shape as the voice box of the bird? Just guessing.
