Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Dominating the North Platform of Chichen Itza is the Temple of Kukulkan (a Maya feathered serpent deity similar to the Aztec Quetzalcoatl), usually referred to as El Castillo ("the castle").[41] This step pyramid stands about 30 metres (98 ft) high and consists of a series of nine square terraces, each approximately 2.57 metres (8.4 ft) high, with a 6-metre (20 ft) high temple upon the summit.[42] The sides of the pyramid are approximately 55.3 metres (181 ft) at the base and rise at an angle of 53°, although that varies slightly for each side.[42] The four faces of the pyramid have protruding stairways that rise at an angle of 45°.[42] The talud walls of each terrace slant at an angle of between 72° and 74°.[42] At the base of the balustrades of the northeastern staircase are carved heads of a serpent.[43] |
