Visiting A World Wonder

in #travel7 years ago

Yesterday I got to visit one of the seven world wonders!

Since I was a child I was fascinated about the Mayan culture, watching movies, history channel and etc.

Yesterday I got to visit a place where I knew everything about, heard stories and could just picture what was going on over there when it was prospering.

You were probably already guessing I'm talking about Chichen Itza, one of the seven world wonders.

Lets start with the photos shall we?

Couldn't help but think how many human sacrifices were made on this pyramid( Has anyone seen Apocalypto)?

This is where they used to play their games

This is their well, not quite sure if it was used for drinking or another place of sacrifices.

Some smaller but still cool pyramids

A natural sinkhole where they found 47 skeletons of people that were taken as sacrifices by the Mayans, now used for swimming

Til next time, Nativ.

Amazingly beautiful ! @nativzel

Great article!

Thanks for sharing, I really hope I can visit this in person some day but some great photos! What was your favourite part of the ruins?

I've watched the movie'Apocalypto'. Did you feel something mysterious energy? I'd like to visit this place someday. Thank you for sharing~

Wouldn't say energy, but it felt cool.

Beautiful pictures and great adventure I believe. Its always nice to be able to see things you have dream since childhood.
