  • Join us on Patreon: / megalithomania . Part 1 of an exploration of Uxmal (meaning 'Thrice Built'), a spectacular Maya site in the Yucatan of Mexico (watch part 2 here: • Uxmal | The Governor's... ). It is a classic period site with pre-classic foundations and megalithic elements that are often overlooked.The Pyramid of the Magician has five construction phases and local legend states it was built by a dwarf in one night who challenged the king of Uxmal in a battle of wills. The dwarf was hatched from an egg and brought up by a sorceress before he became king. He was also said to have used 'whistling' to levitate stones and create a Sacbe (sacred white road) between Uxmal and Kabah. The nearby Nunnery Quadrangle is also visited that shows stunning symbols of plumed serpents, the Tlaloc rain god (who was leader of the Quinametzin Giants) and other beautiful artwork in stone. Part 2 (coming soon) investigates more of the site looking at the geodetic and megalithic elements that could suggest this is much older that realised.

    Chichén Itzá gets all the attention, but Uxmal is an amazing visit. Arguably even better. Far less tourists, and an amazing connection that you don’t feel so much at Chichén Itzá.

    Near the end of the Mayan "classic" period, Uxmal was the seat of government for the entire Maya Empire, but they were corrupted by the Toltec priests who brought their cult of Quetzalcoatl to the region. There was perverted sex rituals and ritual sacrifices and the Maya people suffered their abuses and neglect. After 1200 AD there was a revolution of sorts, or a civil war that divided the Yucatan Peninsula at the city of Mayapan. The calendar brought by the Toltecs was off by two-days and each side derisively called the other the "two-day" people. When the Spanish showed up with a completely different calendar, they were known as the "double-two-day" people.

    This is a beautiful memory for me, when I was 12 years old I climbed that pyramid along with the one in Chichen Itza with my Father. I remember when we hit the first platform, my mother looked down and freaked out. So, my father got her back down to ground level. By the time we made it to the top, the air was crisp, we were in a cloud literally. It was something. I don’t know if they allow climbing them anymore. I’ve heard one too many fools fell off and died and they closed it to that. But when I was there it was 1985. It’s an experience all in its own. At the top there is a room of sorts with incredible colorful murals of various Gods, Serpents, and Crow looking birds.

    I should have said thank you. I really do appreciate the amazing quality of work and this tour was a final piece to my puzzle. The art you showed of the king making a dragon with a shape of the hand is amazing to see. The shape on that hand is just about every dragons head. The old photo of the temple is another piece of my puzzle solved and that's a huge final piece. I have seen this carved into many things and I thought what I was finding was it Devil's mountain in Wyoming, but no it's this old image you showed. Amazing you have been inside. Thank you again for teaching me a lot and I can't wait to show you what you're missing. I have a feeling this place is going to be getting more visitors. Wow. Thank you again. Wow.

    As nice as Uxmal is, just 15 minutes past Uxmal is Kabah. Kabah is still being excavated and has a bigger pyramid and a northern city gate with a raised road to Uxmal. Uxmal is part of a collection of ruins referred to as Puuc. The palace of Sayil is a 100 room masterpiece. Excellent examples of post classic.

    The legends of such amazing places being built in a day are told in many paces around the world, some Hindu temples built in a single night, the stones flying through the air in complete silence and placing themselves exactly in the correct location. This is even told of the Giza pyramids. I'd believe the legends before I will believe ANY of this work was performed by mortal men. The Gods were real, there can be no doubt.
