El Castillo is a Mayan pyramid. It is believed that it could be connected to the Mayan calendar. It has four sides and 91 stairs on each side.
Four times 91 equals 364, then they counted the top platform that connects all the sides as the final step, to get to 365 steps,
which is the same number of days in a year.
