EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring pyramid of Chichen Itza, known as "Of the Castle" standing tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. As one gazes upon this ancient wonder from earth, it becomes evident why it is considered the most important building in this historic city. Consecrated to the worship of the god Kukulcan, this magnificent structure was constructed with great precision and adherence to mysterious symbols and astronomical solar rites. Its architectural brilliance reflects the advanced knowledge and ingenuity of its creators during pre-Columbian times. The photograph, taken in 1968 by Quilici Folco, transports us back in time to an era when civilizations flourished across Central America. The pyramid's imposing presence evokes a sense of reverence and curiosity about its purpose and significance within Mayan culture. Every intricate detail on this monumental edifice tells a story - from its meticulously carved sculptures to its well-preserved columns. This artwork serves as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship that has stood strong for centuries. Chichen Itza Pyramid represents not only Mexico's rich heritage but also holds immense historical value for all of America. Its existence during both first and second millenniums A. D. signifies its enduring legacy throughout different periods in history. As we contemplate this remarkable image captured by Alinari, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us – their achievements, beliefs, and aspirations etched into every stone. Let us cherish these remnants from our past as they continue to inspire generations yet unborn with their timeless beauty and profound cultural significance.
