FYS Week 7


One of the most fascinating of the spectacles of the known Mayan culture is the presentation of Kukulcan, otherwise known as Quetzalcoatl, in snake form on the side of the mayan temple of Chichen Its.  Kukulcan is a feathered serpent that is shown in on the side of the mayan temples during the spring and fall equinoxes.  This formation using the sculpture of Kukulcan's head and the temple's shadow is definitely no coincidence.
