Chichén Itzá — The Descent of Kukulcán

I, Pancho Villa, ride out of the dust to tell you that long before we stormed the fields of the Azteca, the Maya played for the heavens. At Chichén Itzá, during the equinox, the shadow of Kukulcán, the Feathered Serpent, slithers down the stone steps. It is a sign of power, much like when the green jerseys of our boys descend upon the pitch. Whether it is a stone ball or a leather one, the spirit of the descent remains—unstoppable and divine.
