These brothers chose no wives, but lived chastely and ruled righteously, until at a certain time one died or departed, and two began to act unjustly and were put to death.

The one remaining was Kukulcan.

He appeased the strife which his brothers' acts had aroused, directed the minds of the people to the arts of peace, and caused to be built various important structures.
After he had completed his work in Chichen Itza, he founded and named the great city of Mayapan, destined to be the capital of the confederacy of the Mayas.

In it was built a temple in his honor, and named for him, as there was one in Chichen Itza.

These were unlike others in Yucatan, having circular walls and four doors, directed, presumably, toward the four cardinal points[1].
