Snake of Sunlight at Chichen Itza, Mexico during Equinox.

The Pyramid Chichen Itza, Mexico is a very famous pyramid. It has staircases running all the way from bottom to top on each of its four faces.

The stairs of this pyramid are constructed in a very geometrical and calculated manner. Each stair is created and placed at a specifically measured angle. At the very bottom of the pyramid stairs, is created a giant snake head.

Due to such amazing art of construction, when the sunlight falls on the stairs of Chichen Itza during an Autumnal Equinox, it looks as if a giant snake is descending from the top of the pyramid.

This whole occurrence is world famous by the name ‘The Snake of Sunlight’.

Equinox, meaning equal night, is the time of year when the hours of day and night are the same. This only happens once in autumn also known as autumnal equinox OR September equinox and again in late March, known as the spring equinox.

The iconic Mayan archaeological site of Chichen Itza is the only place in the world where you can see the natural phenomenon come to life.
