The passage looks so narrow and the throne looks pretty small as well. So I wonder whether they were smaller people?

I video taped myself climbing El Castillo in 1983 when it was still allowed. I hope l can find that tape someday. I have not seen any other videos of such. I was told to stop video taping. And tragically as l was leaving, l saw a little boy tumble down it.

I’m so glad the jaguar was not stolen and was recovered just on time! 🙏 I’m so proud to be Mexican and have “Chichèn Itzà” be part of one of the wonder/ of the world! 😍😍😍

It was 65 steps straight up to a landing where the room with the Jaguar throne & Chacmool figure sets is all we were allowed to do the room had bars over the entrance & the doorway to inside to the little pyramid, as we were told, was just beneath the side of the stairway on El Castillo where the shadow of the serpent/snake looks like it"s ascending in the fall & descending in the spring.

Awesome NatGeo brilliant video

Very informative, never seen before!

I was in that room. Prior to the 2000s people were allowed in.

It is amazing this Mayan culture and what they have achieved. When Europe was in the dark ages, Mayans were in the first world

I was just there at chichen itza. It’s an amazing place to visit!

What intrigued me the most that you watch this trailer and have seen the full hours episode...ohh wait its missing the 2 min of footage where they go down ropes and 30secons into the water beneath then spend so much time dragging the rest out..

Ok I really really hope someone from Nat Geo responds to this comment: I finished this episode wanting more! Will there be a continuation or is there one already??? I need to know if Memo and Cory are still working on finding a way to enter El Castillo or the cenotes. WE NEED ANSWERS! OR A SEQUEL TO THIS!

Look back at it!

There are larger bore holes on the ceiling as well. Could these not be possible drains for water to create a rain God effect? It all drained down to the aquifer at the bottom anyway

The bones could be used to talk to the former persons DNA as that seems to be the part that was left exposed they could also use the DNA to identify the ancestors today of the person on the throne at the time and their family

Back in the day anyone was allowed to go in, but bad apples ruined it.

The history of the indigenous peoples in the Americas is much, much older than a few thousand years. The Hopi people tell that they arrived in the America’s about 30,000 years ago when the continent that they were living on, Lemuria, sank under water. They claim to be the ancestors of the Maya. We judge the Maya, Aztecs, Inca’s and others on the traces that we find. But when we dig our way from the present to the past, we must know that the Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven recurring natural disasters. That is told in the Popol Vuh. These disasters create a cycle of civilizations. There are four primitive civilizations, sometimes mentioned a sun or world era. The next civilization lives in the fifth sun. This becomes eventually a high developed civilization that disappeared 20,000 years ago due to the next recurring, thus predictable but inescapable disaster that is caused by the ninth planet in our solar system. That planet orbits our sun in an eccentric orbit hence it is only a short period close to our sun and its planets s it crosses the ecliptic planet at a very high speed. This high developed civilizations has built sturdy monuments all over the world and they must have buried knowledge about themselves and the world history deep in the ground. High in the mountains they have built shelters or surviving places for a selected number of people. Like Machu Picchu in Peru. The Aztec sun stone is a warning for this event is known as Quetzalcoatl, Tonatiuh, Xiuhcoatl or Nibiru in other regions. Much more details about this cycle of natural disasters and many images can be found in an e-book. "Planet 9 = Nibirul". Search: invisible planet 9 roest

There's not alot of images of the inside of the pyramid. Or footage. Why so secretive ? That little room is all I can find.

Mexican Meztizo is 50 percent or more Native,. Meztizos marry and have kids, that Native DNA keeps getting stronger and the other weaker, and we love it! We were perfectly fine being and looking full Native, we didn't invite the horror! Of course ur gonna have some European influence, Spain ruled with an iron hand for centuries, but if u knew the intracasies of Native ppl, u could see how much the Mexicans still follow the Native ways, most of u don't even know that all Southwest tribes were Mexican!!

The USA archiologists know we were no better or worse than all continents.
