Chichen Itza when translated means ‘at the mouth of the well of Itza’ is probably the most famous of Mayan Sites in Mexico and its history is as obscure as that of Mayan history. This is due to there being very few written records in relation to the Mayan.
Roughly what is known is that Chichen Itza existed from around 550AD to 800AD and was the ceremonial center of the Mayan Civilization.
It was abandoned for approximately a hundred years for some unknown reason and then people resettled again in 900AD. It was then invaded by the Toltecs just before 1000AD.
It is then said that in 987AD a man calling himself Kukulkan arrived in Chichen Itza and he is said to have brought Toltecs beliefs and practices here.
