Features of the Pyramid of Kukulkan
It should be noted that such pyramids and temples located on top were considered sacred places for the Maya people, since it was in such places that the processes of sacrifice took place. For the Maya people, this was sacred, they believed in the afterlife and were very afraid of the fury of their deities, for this reason they did not consider human life to be something "standing" before the will of the Gods. A special role was played by the priests, who were "guides" between the people and the Gods.
