Yup. I was trying to lump mounds and pyramids found in unexpected places in the same spirit as the below linked book.
The second Spanish attempt to conquer the Yucatan area was in 1531-34 under Francisco de Montejo. One of the soldiers in this army was a young Dalmatian who later became a Dominican priest (Fray Vicente Palatino de Curzola), who later wrote one of the earliest descriptions of Chichen-Itza. He discovered the Mayan writing on the ruins and decided it must be Carthaginian (well, it certainly wasn't Latin, Greek, or Hebrew).
