Chichén Itzá: Sacred Pyramids or Fake Reconstructed Tourist Trap?

Nestled in the jungle of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, Chichén Itzá supposedly stands as a testament to ancient Mayan civilization. Renowned for its architectural marvels, including the iconic pyramid, El Castillo, the archaeological site draws travelers from around the globe. It’s even labeled as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

Yes, Chichén Itzá is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was a prominent city in the Mayan civilization from the 7th to 10th centuries. El Castillo, the Pyramid of Kukulcán, is a key highlight, known for its astronomical phenomenon during the equinox.

…But if you delve into the layers of Chichén Itzá's story, it becomes obvious that what we see today is not a restoration. Its not a pyramid uncovered in the middle of the jungle. It’s a reconstruction created by a foreign government looking for a reason to loot Mexico and Guatemala while giving the Mexican government a way to generate money through a tourist trap….
