Time Pyramid


Hey readers! The temperature here in Mumbai is rising day by day. Well no worry I m here to make you read one cool fact.

During my childhood, Pyramids had always fascinated me, though I knew very little about the fact there are mummy like ghosts who are kept inside with some oils and wax so as not to decay.

It is very interesting to know the unknown facts about the history of human civilisation and the Maya Civilisation is one of them.



The Mayan Pyramid situated at Chichen Itza, Mexico built around 1050 has four stairways each with 91 steps, and one platform.

This makes a total of 365 days, the number of days in a year.

The stairways also divide the nine terraces of each side of the pyramid into 18 segments representing the 18 months of the Mayan calendar.

The Islamic year is about 11 days shorter than a year in the Gregorian calendar. Although the Islamic calendar started 622 years later, it is gaining on the Gregorian calendar. The two will eventually coincide but not until the year 20874.

Well the history has its own mystery!!
