Chichen Itza Kukulcan Equinox

[multiweb (Marc)]

Pretty cool building. Had to get the right placement, orientation and angle. Measure twice, cut once kind of deal. They had one job.

The ancient Mayan people were excellent astronomers with sophisticated techniques for estimating astronomical occurrences. They were sure to share their astronomy knowledge with their future generations. The Mayans were also great builders.

It was common for them to merge their interests in astronomy and building, as can be seen in the Chichen Itza Kukulcan Temple. When the sun’s rays illuminate the pyramid during the spring equinox, a huge serpent-like image is seen between the shadows. In this image, look towards the base of the temple to see the stone snake head lit by the sun with a body leading up the staircase.

Clearly they were helped by Aliens who had computers and a cad program.

I love this sort of thing as after studying these things you start to realise the people who promoted the ideas and those who implemented their plans were rather clever and what I find annoying is modern folk look down on these people because they had some crazy ideas about cosmology...as if we don't suffer from such.

Thanks Mark..what else ya got?

Well the Mayans didn't have TV or Internet so what a better way to while away their time.
