"Inside the Pyramid at Chichén Itzá lies a hidden world of mystery and ancient power. In this video, we explore the secrets buried beneath the iconic El Castillo pyramid, one of the most famous structures in the ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá. Discover how the pyramid aligns with the Maya calendar, the phenomenon of Kukulcán’s descent during the equinox, and the incredible discovery of two smaller pyramids concealed within El Castillo. But that’s not all—archaeologists have also uncovered evidence of a cenote, or sinkhole, beneath the pyramid, potentially linking it to the underworld, known as Xibalba in Maya mythology.

Join us as we uncover the history, legends, and mysteries of Chichén Itzá, and see how this ancient wonder served not just as a religious site but as a possible gateway to both the heavens and the underworld. Could El Castillo be the Maya axis mundi, uniting the earth, sky, and the place of fright below? Watch to find out!
