Description: WATCH PART 2: youtu.be/JJ-ZKBejuA8. The Pyramid of Kinich Kak Moo (Sun-eyed-Fire-Macaw) at Izamal is the largest pyramid structure by volume on the Yucatan Peninsula, and perhaps the third largest in all of Mesoamerica (Cholula is the largest). It is located right in the town of Izamal and dates to at least 700 BC. The structure was built over a cave which holds a sacred place in the religion and mythology of the Maya. Remnants of the cave are still visible on one side of the pyramid. It has "megalithic" construction, basically huge blocks of stone throughout the site, much like at Ake and a few other sites in the area and has a number of Sacbe's (sacred raised white roads) going off in different directions, the most famous one going to Ake, which stretches for 300 KM east to west through he Yucatan connecting up various sites. Another feature is protruding slabs that run at intervals around the circumference of the structure. There are further pyramids, temples and plaza's through the town that we will explore in a future video. Includes exclusive aerial footage.
