At the base of the temple are two snake heads which are carved from stone and are a physical representation of Kukulkan.
Twice a year on the Spring and Autumn equinoxes the afternoon sun casts an uncanny shadow down the side of the temple, a shadow that replicates the body of a slithering snake. Hundreds of thousands of people visit Chichen Itza each year during this time to see this rare occurrence.
The temple also holds one more mystery that everyone who visits the site can experience, a mysterious noise. After years of research, scientists matched this noise with that of the Quetzal.
