CHICHEN ITZA, YUCATAN (MEXICO): A MAGICAL PLACE.



Mexico has many beautiful places; but CHICHEN ITZA (In Yucatan) is a real magical place, where you will find the genius of the Mayas. You can see here the Plumed Serpent (Kukulcan for the Mayas, TEPEU GUKUMATZ for the Maya-Quiche, Quetzalcoatl for the Aztecs), you will see the great pyramid dedicated to Kukulcan, the Astronomical Observatory, the biggest ball game of the Mayas, the Temple of the Warriors, the Temple dedicated to Chak (The Rain God) and more.

Chichen Itza holds many secrets. We will explain some of them here, like the relationship with the Big Bang and the String Theory, just keep reading to unfold those secrets.


  KUKULCAN'S PYRAMID



This is a really nice and beautiful place; it is really worthy to visit! The magic of the Mayas is in that wonderful place. You can go in daytime, but at night time it is a show of lights and the story of the Mayas that you can hear nicely on the air (Literally). It is because on the show you see the Pyramid of Kukulcan and the Temple of the Warriors illuminated and someone tells the story that you can hear.
                    

What does CHICHEN ITZA mean? I personally say: “THE MOUTH OF THE MAGICIAN.” Like Merlin when using his mouth to say his spellings! But actually, Chichen Itza is really deep and full of magic. Here, at Chichen Itza you can see Kukulcan (The Plumed Serpent) coming down to give life to the planet!
You really need a whole day to see this marvelous place and feel a special environment with a magical touch!

Kukulcan’s Pyramid (Called "El Castillo" by the Spaniards) is the main attraction, but...

CULTURE AND WISDOM: MAYAS, AZTECS AND INCAS


MAYAS, AZTECS AND INCAS!
These are three great cultures with a great wisdom and many enigmas to share!
The myths of the Mayas are very complex and not easy to understand. The Popol vuh tells us how the planet was made by the gods and how they wanted to create the man who would tell their names… Obviously, we cannot take this as a literal myth, but as a symbol or symbolic way to tell us something deeper…
The Aztecs known are wild warriors and savages were able to create TENOCHTITLAN just in the middle of a lake. Now days, Mexico city is on that lake. How could those “savages” build a city able to hold all those buildings on top of a lake?
The Incas had a big empire and they were able to build with huge rocks that weight tons, but not just that, they put them together in a way that is beyond our understanding. How could they do that if they did not have machines?

The Mayas, Aztecs and Incas left many things that we are interested on studying, but beyond the classical point of view. How can we understand something different with the same point of view that we see our regular life?

















THE MAYAN CALENDAR AND 2012!
THE MAYAS.
The Mayas were an amazing culture! They left behind a lot of mysteries, symbols, myths and much more. We will study those mysteries, symbols and myths on this blog.
There are many theories about the way they left the cities… But, we are sure they are not gone. Their wisdom is here and we will understand it step by step.

The Pyramid of Kukulcan is an amazing structure where you can see Kukulcand descending to the planet bringing the energies from the Cosmos, so the planet can continue giving life to all creatures on it.

This great pyramid (The picture above was taken by me) is not a mere calendar as many people believe. It is a magical construction where you can see Kukulcan in March 21st, 22nd and 23rd. This happens every year. This is a phenomenon which happens thanks to the sun and the shadows. There is not way to describe it. I took some videos in the year 2000 when I was there.

I will explain this great phenomenon in another day.

THE MAYAN CALENDAR.
The Mayan Calendar is one of the greatest calendars ever.  Now days it is very popular because of its end: Year 2012!
This is one of those enigmas. This is a complex and yet simple system of several calendars working together.  The Mayas knew this: TIME IS A CIRCLE! They knew things happen again and again and we are trapped in the SPACE-TIME machine or RELATIVITY.
Could it be possible that Mayas went beyond time and space? Did they know more than we think they did? Why nobody knows for sure what happened to them? We only hear theories about this, but who can be really sure?
YEAR 2012!
THE END OF THE WORLD!!!! …Really? Did they mean it? Is this just a human interpretation? What is the meaning of the end of the world?
Many people believe that the end of the world is coming; but… How could we know if that is true?  What does the end of the world mean? What are we suppose to do? Is this the end of hope? What we should expect for the future? What does NASA knows about this?
