The Mayan Religion...


It's really interesting to read and learn about this remarkable culture, that is why I chose this topic to introduce you whithin Mayan ideology...
Indeed, religion was the main topic related to Mayan culture.
The polytheistic Mayan religion has always been one of the richest and most admired of the antiquity. In this religion, they believed that the world was an infinite square divided in the three planes: the Underground, Earth and Heaven. These planes were governed by different gods and gave a different sense to life. They also believed that the entire universe had a cycle and past defined the present, and present defined the future.
In the Twenthieth century, there were still some pilgrimages to Tulum to pray for the famous Mayan gods, and currently in this territory, there is one of the most fascinanting religious constructions, called "El Castillo" (the Castle). This building is located on a low platform and has columns in the shape of feathered snakes ("serpientes emplumadas", colloquially). Its superior façade is decorated with diverse figures, while the most remarkable one representing the sun's god. Although the origins of the Mayan culture will always remain in mystery, to visit the beautiful Tulum's Castle, is to get closer to one of the most determining traces of this amazing civilization. I've had the opportunity to be there, and it's a pleasurable sensation to observe this archaeological site located on a cliff of Caribbean Sea.
Therefore, try to take a brief vacation time and enjoy sightseeing!!!
