Mexican and American archaeologists in the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza inside Kukulkan temple found a pyramid. This publication reports Terra.
She reaches 10 meters in height. The inner pyramid is dated to 500-800 BC. She probably has a stairway and the altar at the top. Inside the temple of Kukulkan may exist, according to Professor of anthropology Joffrey’s Braswell from the University of California in San Diego, a set of several small pyramids.
Previously, scientists found inside Kukulkan two nested into each other of the pyramid. The open structure was the third and smallest. About the presence inside the temple of the second pyramid, archaeologists have been known since the 1940-ies. In 2015 under the pyramid of Kukulkan, the researchers found an underground lake.
