Chichen Itza's Secrets

The Chichen Itza in Mexico, constructed to honor the Mayan deity Kukulan, the Feathered Serpent, is renowned for its impressive feats. On the spring and autumn equinoxes, it creates the shadow of a snake slithering down the pyramid. Interestingly, the pyramid has steps of different heights on each of its four sides: 92, 91, 91, and 91, which add up to 365. Additionally, if you clap your hands in front of the pyramid, its echo will sound like a chirping bird.
