While diving in Cozumel I spent a
day to tour the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza translates to mean "mouth
of the well of Itza." Chichen is the best known, best restored, and arguably most
impressive Mayan ruin. It's also not entirely Mayan. Chichen got off the ground around 550
AD. Like most Mayan cities, Chichen was abandoned in the 10th century, then resettled
around 1000 AD. Abandoned again in the 14th century, but it remained the site for
pilgrimages for many years.
