Mexico: Chichen Itza

We took a day trip to Chichen Itza, which is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It was so ah-mazing! We had a guide to take us around since there was so much to see here.

In front of the main pyramid

The Great Ball Court, where they would play games.

At the end of the Ball Court there is a Temple of The Bearded Man where there's a carving of a man that has facial hair (Jesus Christ).

 other carvings in the Ball Court...

Skull Platform, where they used to perform human sacrafices

In front of the Temple of a Thousand Warriors (Book of Mormon Stripling Warriors)

You can see how this city was built upon another city
