The
KUKULCAN CASTEL rising 30 meters (90 feet) from the base is the most
impressive building. Its age is dificult to calculate, being estimated
between 650 and 800 a.C. The number of its different measurements relate
to digits in the Mayan Solar Calendar; for example, 91 steps in 4 sides,
or 364; plus the platform, 365, the number of days in a year. The five
adornments in each side of the temple are 5 x 4, or 20, the number of
the days in a Mayan month. This building revealing the profound
knowledge of the Mayas, every year during the equinox desmonstrates the
descending of the god KUKULKAN, "The Feathered Serpent" to earth.
