Summary[edit]

Description
English: PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT.Thanks.


Archaeologists from the Mexican Institute of Anthropology and History excavating in the Great Plaza at Chichen Itza recently made a fascinating discovery. They found a building between El Castillo Pyramid and the Temple of the Warriors that is over 1,000 years old and predates El Castillo by at least a century. To date, his team has excavated 12 meters of the building, one of the corners, a cornice and what is probably the southeast wall.

The building had been buried by the ancient inhabitants of the city, thus preserving it. This was common practice among the Maya who often built new temples on top of monuments erected by their ancestors because they believed that it concentrated divine energy and power.
