Chichen Itza is the last great vestige of Maya domination in Mesoamerica, yet no one knows the precise origins of the city. What is certain is that in the 10th century, it was the most powerful city in the region. It ruled local commerce and became an attractive place of pilgrimage. Its growth coincided with monumental construction, which is strikingly similar in style to the Toltec culture of the Mexican highlands. Did Chichen Itza fall into the hands of strangers? Recent discoveries have revealed a possible fifth Cenote beneath the famous El Castillo, findings that may shed additional light on the history of the most important and iconic city built by the Maya people.
