EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking El Castillo pyramid during the equinox in Chichen Itza, Mexico. Dating back to the Post Classic period of 600-900 AD, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to Mayan ingenuity and mastery. The image showcases the intricate steps and stairs that lead up to the towering structure, revealing its grandeur and significance. As one gazes at this mesmerizing sight, they are transported back in time to an era when Mesoamerican civilizations flourished. The Columbian-Mexican influences on this archaeological site are evident in its design and construction. The symmetrical patterns and precise craftsmanship reflect a deep understanding of mathematical principles by the Mayans. Atop El Castillo stands Kukulkan, a prominent deity in Mayan mythology associated with serpents. This sacred figure adds an aura of mysticism to the already awe-inspiring scene. Photographer Jean Pierre Courau skillfully captures every detail of this ancient wonder through his lens. His photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of Chichen Itza. As we admire this remarkable piece of pre-Columbian architecture, let us remember that it is our duty to preserve and protect these invaluable remnants of human history for future generations.
