| El Castillo at Chichén Itzá (aka, the Pyramid of Kulkulkán). The Mayans loved their sacrificial customs, and I've read that they used to love killing people by throwing them down the steps of this pyramid.

A figure in front of the Platform of Venus. (The Mayans used to sacrifice people here, too.)
|
| Skulls were chiseled into a nearby wall to signify when people had been sacrificed. Death rules! (...or maybe the Mayans were a wee bit odd, perhaps?)
