Chichen Itza – Mexico

Chichen Itza is situated on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico and was an important site in the Mayan Kingdom. What characterizes the main temple is that every single step equals a day of the year.

The sun will wander up and down the pyramid, one step per day, which is quite fascinating considering that the Mayans didn’t have access to modern technology.
