Discover internal pyramid of Kukulkan

The discovery of a second substructure inside the Kukulkán pyramid, located in the archaeological zone of Chichén Itzá in southeastern Mexico, opens the possibility of deepening studies on the period in which so-called pure Mayas lived. Using a technology designed by scientists from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), never used in another part of the world, it was possible to determine that this second substructure has a height of more than 10 meters. The researcher of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Denisse Lorenia Argote Espino, explained that "the fact of glimpsing the presence of this structure would be talking about a very original settlement, so to speak, pure Maya." In a press conference, he explained that "in the case of the pure Mayas we are talking about a social group originating in the Yucatan peninsula without external influences." This means that they did not have the influence of the populations of the center of Mexico, "is known by the vestiges that this arrived around 800 D.". For his part, the researcher of the Institute of Geophysics of the UNAM, René Chavez Segura, explained that this discovery realized through the three-dimensional electrical tomography, "is like the Mattika dolls; From the grandata we take another and another and another.
