The archaeological site of Chichén Itzá is world famous for the play of light and shadow that occurs at each equinox on the steps of the pyramidal base known as El Castillo. In this, the sun, as it rises over the horizon, illuminates the western basement beam, creating triangles of light and shadow that appear to descend to the head of the serpent on the roughness of the railing. This event, achieved from the correct orientation and inclination of the basement plans, shows the great level of astronomical and architectural knowledge that the Mayans possessed, and that has turned out to be one of the most studied cultures and regions around these issues. , in addition to the territorial political organization and the exploitation of resources.
