Alright buddy, did you fall asleep in history class or something? First, off you answered the wrong question. The question was how was the Chichen Itza built not what it was made of. Second, if the question had been what is the Chichen Itza made out of you my friend, would have failed. The Chichen Itza is made out of limestone, morder, and lumber. The real answer to the real question is that believe it or not the Chichen Itza was compleatly made by hand. They did not use the wheel.

Answer 3

This is not a WHY question. Chichen Itza was their town. It would be the same as asking 'why did we build New York'? Maybe you are looking for what factors influences their choice for this location? That could be a number of things such as access to resources, climate, terrain, or they could have even expanded a once small village. The monumental architecture (ie. pyramids) helped to separate classes and legitimize the monarch. But there is no ONE reason why they would build Chichen Itza.
