'''ChichénItzá''' is a [[zone|turfzone]] in southeastern [[Country:Mexico|Mexico]]. The zone is counted as a [[World Heritage Sites|World Heritage Site]].
==Chichén Itzá==
Chichen Itza was a large [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Columbian_era pre-Columbian] city built by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_peoples Maya] people of the Terminal Classic period. The archaeological site is located in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin%C3%BAm_Municipality Tinúm] Municipality, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucat%C3%A1n Yucatán] State, [[Country:Mexico|Mexico]].
Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the Northern Maya Lowlands from the Late Classic (c. AD 600–900) through the Terminal Classic (c. AD 800–900) and into the early portion of the Postclassic period (c. AD 900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.
