Description
The Temple of the Warriors complex, located in Chichén Itzá archaeological site in the Mexican state of Yucatán, consists of a large stepped pyramid fronted and flanked by rows of carved columns depicting warriors.
This complex is analogous to Temple B at the Toltec capital of Tula, and indicates some form of cultural contact between the two regions.
The one at Chichen Itza, however, was constructed on a larger scale. At the top of the stairway on the pyramid’s summit (and leading towards the entrance of the pyramid’s temple) is a Chac Mool. The Chac-Mool depicts a human figure in a position of reclining with the head up and turned to one side, holding a tray over the stomach. The meaning of the position or the statue itself remains unknown.
