    Also known as The High Priest Temple, The Ossuary is a pyramid at Chichen Itza with nine stepped blocks and a staircase on each side. Stairs count with balustrades carved with interlocking snakes that lead to a temple at the top, which entrance displays two snake columns.

    It was built above a deep extense cavern, to which one can descend-to from the entrance made in the floor of the upper temple. At the entrance to the cavern, there are seven tombs which contained jade, rock crystal, shell and copper offerings.
