Video that explains what Chichen Itza looks like at the equinox.

Itza not a Chicken! Itza a big pile of stone. I was hoping for some wings and sauce. Is the bubbacue round back or what?

So when do they cut some guys heart out and hold it out twitching to the morning sun?

[TigersEye]

What I want to know is if there is an insect that only lives at Chichen Itza would you call it Chichen Itza Bug?

[Bean Counter]

On first glance I thought this was a recipe for Puerto Rican Chicken Itza, or some such damned thing.....

Moving on...

In English it would be “Chigger Itchen Bug”. And it also lives at Macho Pinch You, which I understand is in the same country as Spring Equalknox.

There's a smaller pyramid at Coba that still hasn't been cleared out of the jungle like this one.

Anyway, I was up on that thing one morning just after sun up and I was looking down as if I was the king and gave out a big yell...just as I did a French accented guy came around the corner (startled me) and said with disgust in his voice, "You must be an American." I said what makes you think that and he said "You people are only into power." Then he left, lol.

(I did think about kicking his wimpy butt, but that would make him correct, eh?)

Did they sacrifice a virgin ?

[TigersEye]

Wow! I didn't know you were an entomologist. I just got lucky asking you.

ROTFL

[Talisker]

lol, well said.

[onedoug]

Are they cannibals too?

[count-your-change]

An entombologist? Is that like an undertaker?

[TigersEye]

It’s someone who has to make grave decisions while being kept in the dark.

[count-your-change]

I can dig it!

Itza great-a big-a Chicken Pizza!

Our toppings include sacrificial heart parts!

And you thought anchovies were bad? Itza baddest pizza!

I did think about kicking his wimpy butt

You should have just given him a push. Not too much room at the ledge on the top, if memory serves.
