People come to learn about its ancient culture,the culture of the Mayan people. The Mayan culture began almost 3,000 years ago and grew in parts of Central America. But about 1,000 years ago a group called the Itza invaded the city and built new parts of the city based on natural wells.They named the city Chichen Itza,which means "mouth of the well of the Itza”.

The people of Chichen Itza especially designed one building to observe and study the movement of the stars and planets.Experts say that the observatory (is one of the most complex structures the Maya built.A set of steps went up and around the observatory tower.And there were windows in the tower.Each window had a purpose.Experts believe that a person looking through one of these windows could see particular stars on particular dates.The Maya might have believed that studying the stars could tell them the future. Chichen Itza is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important part of the world's history.Every visitor who went there always has a different view on the city.So why are you still waiting? 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章对世界文化遗产之一的玛雅文化遗址Chichen Itze (奇琴伊察)进行了详细的介绍。 1.Visitors came to the city o
