Michael J. CarterGUEST
You know, we're in Mexico.
Michael J. CarterGUEST
And we went to see the pyramids, the Mayan pyramids at Chichen Itza and Tulum.
Michael J. CarterGUEST
And I mean, I can't, they were breathtaking.
Michael J. CarterGUEST
And, you know, the culture, obviously, it's a lot of mystery around the technology, how they knew some of the things they knew about astronomy, astrology, that kind of thing.
Jack KruseGUEST
So do you think that's good for people with mitochondria that live inside? And how did I learn about this effect? This I think you'll dig because it's tied to your world too.
Jack KruseGUEST
There's a ball field that's right outside of Chichen Itza that the Mayans built.
Jack KruseGUEST
And that ball field has a magnetic acoustic effect.
Jack KruseGUEST
So if you go on one side of it, and it's probably bigger than an NFL field, if you talk into the wall, you can hear it on the other side.

Jack KruseGUEST
I also believe they were informed by the Toltecs, by the Aztecs, the Incas.
Jack KruseGUEST
And they had some baseline information about how to build their pyramids and what to do.
Jack KruseGUEST
And in their 4,500 year period, they realized as they moved up to Guatemala where the volcanoes were active, then they moved across to where Chichen Itza is because they knew the water was special there.
Jack KruseGUEST
And they were right because previously an asteroid had hit there in the last extinction event that delivered a ton of rare earth elements.
CourtHOST
That's hustling.
ChrisHOST
My only incline and claim to fame that I can say is I sprinted up Chichen Itza.
GeyerHOST
You what?
ChrisHOST
I sprinted up Chichen Itza.
GeyerHOST
Is that what you called the hill from the dock to your house as a kid?
ChrisHOST
No. Oh.
ChrisHOST
Chichen Itza is the famous Aztec temple outside of Mexico City.
ChrisHOST
Oh.
PatrickHOST
It's all perfectly like, like in process.
PatrickHOST
And if you look at all the pyramids across the entire world, like even in Mexico, like, um, like down in, uh, Chichen Itza, whatever it is, whatever, um, their pyramids are lined up like that too.
PatrickHOST
So his theory is that these were power plants, uh, for a previous civilization that used to live on, um, earth before long lost, you know?
RobHOST
Oh my God.
Cliff DunningHOST
But we're excavating at a much more quicker pace, and we should be able to find, hopefully soon, instruments and more ruins that show us the details of their ability to enhance sound.
Cliff DunningHOST
Now, we know that they were able to do this at Chichen Itza and at Uxmal and at Palenque because there are tests that have been done by these archaeoacoustic specialists.
Cliff DunningHOST
These are archaeologists who are specializing in resonance, sound frequencies, and how they carry, how sound carry.
Cliff DunningHOST
But what's amazing to me is that we're at the very infancy of this research.
Betsey KulakowskiGUEST
Yeah, they do quite a bit because the first book is in, starts in Peru and then ends up in the Pacific Northwest.
Betsey KulakowskiGUEST
The second book they get to Chichen Itza.
Betsey KulakowskiGUEST
The third book they get to South Africa.
Betsey KulakowskiGUEST
The fourth book they go to Egypt and Slovenia.
EnriqueHOST
Bien, continuamos.
EnriqueHOST
El castillo de Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, México.
EnriqueHOST
Elevación total de treinta y tres metros alcanzados hasta la cresta superior.
EnriqueHOST
La pirámide de Kukulcán mide veinticuatro metros de basamento, más los seis metros del templo superior y los tres metros del zócalo, sumando treinta y tres metros totales.
EnriqueHOST
Ahí lo visteis.
EnriqueHOST
¿Hace cuánto tiempo estaban construido el castillo de Chichén Itzá en Yucatán, en México? Y tenía exactamente treinta y tres metros totales.
EnriqueHOST
No es casualidad, los antiguos sabían algo.
EnriqueHOST
[chasquido de lengua] Y que el otro día os lo había comentado y así, [carraspeo] que no, no, no os lo enseñara, pero es que estuve hablando el otro día con un colega y a, a veces es que es eso, eh, hay, hay cosas que ni, ni se saben.
Gary KentHOST
It remained hidden from outsiders until 1911 when it was rediscovered and brought to international attention by archaeologist Hiram Bingham.
Gary KentHOST
Number six in our list of wonders of the world is Chichen Itza, which is located just over 4,000 kilometres or 2,500 miles north of Machu Picchu, deep in the dense jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
Gary KentHOST
It was built by the Mayan people over 1,500 years ago as a political, economic and religious centre.
Gary KentHOST
The city includes a series of monuments, temples, and observatories.
Gary KentHOST
Its planning and design commenced soon after the end of the First World War, with the statue seen as an overpowering symbol of Christianity and hope at the time when the horrors of World War I had brought the world to its knees.
Gary KentHOST
So it's no surprise that this great monument made the list of today's seven wonders of the world.
Gary KentHOST
So there they are, the new seven wonders of the world, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, Petra, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza and Christ the Redeemer.
Gary KentHOST
These top seven were chosen from over 200 submissions, and some great sites missed out, like the Acropolis in Athens, the statues on Easter Island, Cambodia's Angkor Wat, Russia's St. Basil's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Sydney's Opera House, and the rice terraces of Banaue here in the Philippines.
Phil PlaitGUEST
The only word I know in Maya that I'm pronouncing correctly is shtolak, which means lizard.
Phil PlaitGUEST
That's something I learned, actually, at Chichen Itza when I visited.
Phil PlaitGUEST
And I found that a lot of Maya sounds Vulcan.
Phil PlaitGUEST
So if you're a Star Trek fan, you're going to love this stuff.
