El Castillo Pyramid - Wooden Twist and Solve the Sum Puzzle
Experience the wonder of El Castillo, the Temple of Kukulcan, a step-pyramid in the heart of Chichen Itza, Mexico. Each of the four sides has 91 steps, and with the top platform, they total 365, symbolizing the days in a year. During solstices, this architectural marvel showcases the Maya's astronomical precision as the sun's rays cast a shadow that forms the shape of Kukulcan, the revered feathered serpent deity, descending the length of the pyramid.
The Goal: Use the legend at the base of the pyramid to decode the symbols. Arrange the blocks so that each fact totals 91 (31 down each center column and 30 down each side column).
