EQUINOX: THE MAYAN ASTRONOMERS

Chichen Itza was recently named one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World." Twice each year at Equinox, tens of thousands gather to see the appearance of The Serpent of Light and Shadow. This is a projection of light which appears at sunset on the side of the Pyramid of Kukulkan. "Equinox" features magnificent vioeography of Mexico's showcase arqueological zone of Chichen Itza, as well as four other Mayan centers: Tikal, Tulum, Palenque and Tikal.

"Equinox" gives significant attention to the spiritual beliefs of the Maya as well as their architectural wonders. Their buildings have been designed in perfect alignment with the rising and setting of the sun and moon as well as some stars and planets, which the Maya considered their gods. "Equinox" lifts more of the veil of Mayan mystery with previously unphotographed astronomical alighments.
