The ancient Maya date back more than 4,000 years and were famous for their architecture, mathematics and astronomical beliefs. Many of their impressive constructions still stand today in the jungles of southeast Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and western parts of Honduras. El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulcan, is the iconic structure that dominates the centre of the Chichen Itza archaeological site in the Mexican state of Yucatan.
