What happened in China when Chichen Itza was built in Yucatan
I had an unforgetable trip to Chichen Itza in 2012, the year when the world would come to the end, as predicted by a Maya prophecy. I think there may be some sort of connection, or serendipity, between the Chichen Itza and me. That is why I clearly remember the year of this special traveling.
Chichen Itza, one of the World Heritages, is located in the center of the Peninsular of Yucatan . It is the habitat built by the Mayan people in about 430 to 450 AD, based on the transript left by a guy(can not remember his name) . The Maya vision of the world and universe is revealed in the stone monuments, which have a special, unspoken mystery . The Kukukan Pyramid is the most remarkable architecture in Chichen Itza, and also one of the seven Wonders in the World. It is said the Pyramid is built for astromical purposes and agricultural rituals, which were held at the vernal equinox and antumnal equinox.
Standing before the pyramid, I felt time freezed at that moment, all that has gone is people. I can not help but recalling what happened during the same period in China? If my memory worked well , at that time the most powerful, and long-lasting soverign of the South-and -North Dynasties took form in China . It is a pity that we do not have remarkable historical sits left, because that is also a time of constant wars.
Buildings, witnesses of history, last from the past to the present, and will still last to the future. Human beings are so neligible.
