The Descent of Kukulkán

This time-lapse video of solar alignment during the equinoxes on the pyramid of El Castillo in Chichén Itzá .

For those wondering, the shadows represent the body of the Maya serpent god, Kukulkan. The carving at the bottom of the stairs is Kukulkan's head. If I remember right, the shadow only comes down the stairs like that during the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.

Made the trip in person only to imagine what it would be like on the equinox. Thanks! Saved me the trip <3

Nice. The slide over ad came just in time to block the final "apparition" of Kulkulkan.

Clever engineering. The ancient Mayans were brilliant for many things including mathematics.

Thanks! That was exactly that, what I needed for my presentation for school!

A guy once posted he saw this while on acid..great experience...

[PeregrinoDelTerror]

Hola estimado, esperando te encuentres bien, te quería preguntar si podría utilizar un fragmento de tu video, para realizar un video sobre la leyenda de kukulkan

[danielmeneses]

what one man can do, another can do also...think I will do this in my backyard

[dominicweber]

I don’t see it? It’s just a step pattern on the side of it?

[BP-kxig]

This is a great effect.

However it is not true that it occurs only at the equinoxes?

It happens at other times.

I believed for years it was an equinox event but sadly it is not.

In Africana culture there’s a chicken recipe named kuku chicken… makes ya wonder if the Africans and Mayans somehow made contacts years ago.

[JoseFlores-hypn]

To this day I still don’t see what everyone else is so astonished by ? How is does everyone see a snake …?

The history of the indigenous peoples in the Americas is much, much older than a few thousand years. The Hopi people tell that they arrived in the America’s about 30, 000 years ago when the continent that they were living on, Lemuria, sank under water. They claim to be the ancestors of the Maya. We judge the Maya, Aztecs, Inca’s and others on the traces that we find. But when we dig our way from the present to the past, we must know that the Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven recurring natural disasters. That is told in the Popol Vuh. These disasters create a cycle of civilizations. There are four primitive civilizations, sometimes mentioned a sun or world era. The next civilization lives in the fifth sun. This becomes eventually a high developed civilization that disappeared 20, 000 years ago due to the next recurring, thus predictable but inescapable disaster that is caused by the ninth planet in our solar system. That planet orbits our sun in an eccentric orbit hence it is only a short period close to our sun and its planets s it crosses the ecliptic planet at a very high speed. This high developed civilizations has built sturdy monuments all over the world and they must have buried knowledge about themselves and the world history deep in the ground. High in the mountains they have built shelters or surviving places for a selected number of people. Like Machu Picchu in Peru. The Aztec sun stone is a warning for this event is known as Quetzalcoatl, Tonatiuh, Xiuhcoatl or Nibiru in other regions. Much more details about this cycle of natural disasters and many images can be found in an e-book. "Planet 9 = Nibirul". Search: invisible planet 9 roest

[KingOfSpite]

Thanks. So glad you posted this. Now i dont have to waste so much time and money traveling to see this colossal disappointment.

[brianroquemore]

Can’t see what everyone is saying. It’s just a shadow that looks like a snake, I see no movement. Moving on.
