In the heart of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula stands a pyramid that does something no other ancient structure can do. When you clap your hands at the base of the Temple of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza, the structure responds with a descending chirp that echoes the call of the sacred quetzal bird.
Discover the genius acoustics behind this 1,300-year-old Mayan marvel, how its stone steps act as an acoustic diffraction grating, and whether the builders intentionally coded the voice of the gods into the stone.
