Spanish update

This week we learned about Chichén Itza. We learned about the temples in Chichén Itza, for example the temple of kukúlan, the temple of Jaguars, and the temple of warriors. When an equinox happens, a shadow is casted on the castle and it looks like kukúlan is slithering down the side of the stairway. We also learned about the ball court and how the game that is played in the ball court is played. In addition, we learned that there are thousand columns by the temple of warriors and each column has a drawing of a warrior on it. The observatory (aka the snail) is were the Mayans go to study the plants and stars. The last thing we learned about was the sinkhole. The Mayan made human sacrifices by dropping the person into the sinkhole. The Mayan also sacrificed their gold, jade, and copper for the rain god, Chaac, to bring rain in the dry seasons.🇪🇸🇪🇸
