Chichén Itzá 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.
the ancient city of Chichén Itzá in Mexico was used for human sacrifice:
The Sacred Cenote
A natural sinkhole that contains the bones of over 200 people, including children, who were sacrificed to the rain god Chaac. The victims were found in the cenote's 14-meter deep waters and showed signs of mutilation, including flaying, impalement, and skinning.
