"The time lapse footage was shot entirely by hand using a Canon T2i shot in a prone position. I forgot and left my intervalometer in my hotel, so I was forced to have to hold and shoot, approx. 1 shot every 5 seconds for about 1.5 hours. Needless to say, this was quite the challenge, but I think it came out ok.
Luckily, the clouds completely disappeared when the first diamond appeared. As you can see, I was able to capture all 7 diamonds at the end of the sequence." - Наука та технологія
Finally someone who films the snake and not the tourists👏👍
My mind is blown every time I think about how they did this and got it down exactly right. To get such a massive structure at the right angle and all the calculations correct that involve the sun is truly amazing. Like I said, mind blown.
This is the best time lapse of this event. Thanks!
When I read about the equinox casting a shadow of a serpent I had to see for myself. Amazing!
Thank you so much Eric you did an awesome job. Appreciate the painstaking effort. This is so cool.
Was fortunate to witness this first hand awhile back, by accident even! We planned a trip to Cancun in mid to late March, and when we got there this was all that was talked about, so we decided to go! It was amazing!! We even went back the following day bcuz of the crowd during the Equinox! Definitely planning on going again!!
Thats so cool! Us Hopi's in Arizona also have a feathered serpent we call him Palalang'qataka. We believe he lives underground in the underground waters & that he helps keep the world in balance. We also believe he comes to visit our Hopi villages' natural springs around midday to check on us to make sure we're still living with kyaftsi (respect). They tell us not to be around the springs around that time because he can an will take you with him. I love how we have similarities but are in different countries. I know our ancestors used to trade with the people in the south. At some Ancestral Puebloan ruins (Chaco Canyon) they have the ball games like the people of the south. We have a Parrot clan that migrated to the Hopi villages from South America.
I wish ruins like these could be analyzed to determine how they were painted and decorated... And fully restored to true colors.
*Great video & music 🎵🎶*

Wonderful job in the time lapse photography.
Was lucky to see this in person last month very cool
I ❤ mexico
Fantastic shot
For a second I thought this was one of those scary pop up videos
I recently found out this happens on my birthday at around the time of my birth - crazy!
There is a snake head on the bottom left. The shadow makes it seem like is going down the stairs. You're not going to see a real giant snake actually coming down 🤣🤦♂️. You have to see it with an opened mind. It impressive and accurate af if you ask me.
exactly the actual snake is not in the shadow itself but in the sunlight it shapes
Not to hate or anything but how does this resemble a serpent going down? I watched the video at least 5 times now. I wana see it!!
I’d check it out in person, or like many of us you could just do some research on it yourself. No offense but I’m a bit spread thin and tired of giving both the answers and the evidence. Try DUCKDUCKGO as google’s AdWords have changed the way algorithms and search engines allow for research to (not fully) work.
@@AquarianPhilosophy Already tried researching but i just don't see it. I mean i get how you might see it but i don't. Still looks nice tho
Yeah it's said that the snake is going down the steps, but instead, it seems like it's getting bigger or thinner depending if we look at the shadow or the light, and it's not even on the steps, that's disappointing
@@AquarianPhilosophy I was fortunate to be there to witness it first hand years back! Videos and pics don’t do it justice! It’s just something that needs to be experienced first hand!! This is the best time lapse done by video that I’ve seen tho!! I’m definitely planning on visiting it again tho!
I agree, all I see is the shadows getting bigger on the side of the pyramid. I see no slithering, even in time lapse.
In Mayan culture, it's Kukulcan, not Quetzalcoatl.
+Jose Herrera You`re right, but it`s still the feathered Serpent. La serpiente emplumada.
Correct.
Maya...Mayan is the language, they are Maya
What culture calls it Quetzalcoatl?
'The Maya civilization blossomed in Mesoamerica from approximately 2000 BCE until the arrival of the Spanish in the early 1500s. In the Maya pantheon, a version of Quetzalcoatl was known to the Quiche Maya as Gukumatz and to the Yucatec Maya as Kukulkan.'
I have always thought, what if the natives who built the pyramid didn’t even mean to do that. What if they just built the snake head and the rest was just a coincidence lol
Nah they did know. The Mayan where the best astronomers of history.
They knew. Chichen Itza's Castillo is build above a cenote sinkhole and is also built on a exact spot where it faces another 4 cenotes
No you are correct. This effect was the product of the chichen itza reconstruction and it was an accidental one. The Mexican government rebuilt many of the sites with tourism in mind.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
Chichen itza pyramids are more impressive to me than Egyptian ones
Is the music reflective of the culture or cultures there?
dude, this is cool
What's the music?
Crazie how stories change when people tell them.
I am from mexico, born and raise, as a kid i was told that you can see the shadow of the snake move giving the ilusion like is going upstairs inside the piramid.
Our great golden mother is buried deep in there she needs to be found and brought back to see her fly
She's an egyptian queen 👸amons mother
And her soul is still here they
The more you think of a snake, the better you see it
Song name? Edit: Found it. journey to mictlan
I don't see any snake. What's the big deal about this?
The Mayan supreme god called Kukulkan or "Kukulcán" the feathered serpent, Known also as Quetzalcóatl by the Aztecs.
Us Hopi in Arizona also have a feathered serpent as well we call him Palalang'qataka... he lives at the core of the Earth where there's water & holds the world in balance as he swims. We believe that he comes up from the natural springs that surround the Hopi villages around midday to check on us & makes sure we still have kyaftsi (respect). At Walpi village on First Mesa, Arizona they have a dance for him & he comes out to dance.
but a snake doesn't have humps?
That is pretty badass
Oh WOW
THE FACE OF 12450 YEAR OLD GIZA SPHINX IS THAT OF ITS BUILDER KERALA DANAVA KING KALANEMI JR WHO WATCHED HIMSELF IN THE SKY - Capt Ajit Vadakayil
Thats amazing✨
Incredible!
wow
How in the world did they do this? I bet that someone could ever speak with them, back in time, they would probably say..."Oh that's easy because we observed.........."blah blah. It blows my mind they figured this out.
Bgm🔥
Song?
Is this in Guatemala?
It’s in Yucatán, Mexico 🇲🇽
@@alejandrosereno5229 do you kn how old are they and who build them?
Is it just me here for school work
Whattup lol
0:14
That’s Kukulkan not quetzal coalt
That's it?
Bruh who built that thing wtf
Mayan people.
So much foresight yet they didn't see the Spanish coming 🙈
Ur mother did
So... where is this so called serpent?
Look at the shadow of the stairs creating waves similar to a serpent and it’s heading downward towards its head.
It's said that the snake is going down the steps, but instead, it seems like it's just getting bigger or thinner, depending if we look at the shadow or the light, and it's not even on the steps, that's disappointing
Nice recording tho
Bro you’re literally saying “not even lined up” to a 1500 year old (at least) fuckin pyramid in the jungle
Oh the mayans must be turning in their graves with so much sorrow because they disappointed you
🌽🌽🌎🌎
You can hear this same song by a bunch of homeless people in a drum circle high on all kinds of shit in Santa Monica
What is the evidence that this is a intentional ancient special effect and not just pareidolia mixed with a serendipitous coincidence caused by the stair step corner of the pyramid casting a shadow on the side of the main stair corridor. No doubt the architecture is amazing and the culture was amazing but I'm not going to lie, when I first heard about this phenomenon, I was expecting something more obvious.
It isn’t an intentional effect. It was part of the reconstruction of the temple. Look at old pics of the temple it looked nothing like this
This happens on numerous days, not just the equinoxes. It's very likely something that wasn't intentionally designed
So where's the snake??
🤭..🤣😂
And I thought i was trippin 🤣
Either i am blind or everyone that sees a snake is on some good smoke and need to pass that this way 😅.... But no guys i saw no snake. Just a shadow that can barely count as even moving just a shadow taking effect, yes it would take someone about a year to study this and make calculations based off decades of research to give you exact dates but this is all doable.
I don’t get it and I don’t see it, I’m honestly not impressed, a sundial is more impressive to me
YOU ARE CHILD OF THIS AGE FOR SURE... you expect movie like effects ??? the snake is an illusion created BY INGENIOUS MASTERFUL ENGINEERING AND SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE EQUINOX , THE STARS MOON AND SUN AND NAUTRE ! THE SNAKE IS NOT THE SHADOW , THE SNAKE IS SUNLIGHT EDGED BY THE SHADOW MOVING SLOWING AS THE EQUINOX PROGRESSES, ITS GOING DOWNWARD AND IS NOT AS SHARPLY DEFINED AS IT MUST HAVE BEEN CENTURIES PAST WHEN IT WAS NEWLY CREATED AND THE EDGES OF THE STEPS WERE SHARP AND DEFINED NOT ROUNDED AND WORN OUT BY THE CENTURIES... OPEN YOUR MIND AND LEAVE OUT RIDICULOUS EXPECTATIONS OF MOVIE LIKE EFFECTS..
Mayas also had sundials

Same lol
There's no way primitive tools and measuring devices built all that without loaner tools from some technologically advanced off world helpers
Bullshit. Stop discrediting the intelligence of my people.
Of course there is 🤦 or do you think Mathematics was invented when? 18th century? 19th? Stop being so narrow minded
bullshit dude ..... stop displaying western arrogance !!!!! THESE PEOPLE WERE FUCKING ADVANCED COMPARED TO EUROPEANS IN SO MANY MANY WAYS .... EXCEPT IN WARFARE THAT IS THE REAL EUROPEAN ADVANCE OVER THEM !! NOT IN SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS !!~
STOP DIMMINISHING THEIR ACOMPLISMENTS.... YOU SHOULD BE IN AWE !! GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE !!
Sad you have to attribute great human accomplishments to aliens. There’s literally nothing suggesting that in the record. I’d be more willing to consider the idea of a lost reasonably high tech civilization…there’s some evidence for that but even that is probably just the tools, intelligence and more importantly, time, of many organized people. It’s less exciting but that these structures were made by man is not in doubt.
I didn’t care for your choice of music
I’m Mexican ,
Thought it was kinda lame 😒
Sorry
Demonic, tear it down
Nah
Stfu you Jehovahs Witness
This comment is demonic, tear it down
Whatever
I wish fools like you would actually follow the values their religion preaches and provides. You should be the one going to hell for perverting those values
