Temple of the Warriors, Chichen Itza, Mexico — This stepped pyramid is surrounded by hundreds of columns carved with warrior and deity figures. Its design closely mirrors the Temple of the Morning Star at Toltec Tula, 1,200 kilometers away — strong evidence of the cultural exchange or conquest that made Chichen Itza unique among Maya cities.
