A large Maya Society developed here between 700-900 years ago and built most of the structures in the southern part of the area. However, the design of the main structures such as the Kukulkan Pyramid, which is dedicated to the Feathered Serpent God and symbolizes the Mayan calendar with a total of 365 steps, located in the middle region, the Temple of the Warriors decorated with Jaguar and Eagle motifs, and the “Juego de Pelota” ball playground, the largest example of the Maya world, are clearly designed. It has a Toltec influence. After our tour, we head to İkkil Cenote to take pictures. We can call the Turkish equivalent of a Cenote a sinkhole.
