Mayan nesting doll pyramid discovered

By Jordi Bou

November 21, 2016 - The discovery of a third structure within the famous Kukulkan pyramid at the archaeological complex of Chichen Itza in Mexico’s Yucatan state reveals that it was built in three phases, like a “Russian nesting doll”. The discovery could shed light on original Maya culture before it intermingled with populations from central Mexico.
