EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mayan civilization at its peak. The image showcases the magnificent Great Ball Court and the Castillo, two iconic structures that define Chichen Itza in Yucatan State, Mexico. Dating back to the 9th century, this archaeological site is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of precolombian art and architecture. In this exterior view, we are transported back in time as we witness the vastness of these ancient structures against a backdrop of lush greenery. The Great Ball Court stands as an imposing playground where intense ball games were once played by skilled athletes. Its sheer size and intricate design leave us in awe of the engineering prowess possessed by Mayan craftsmen. Dominating the horizon is the Castillo, a majestic castle-like structure that served both ceremonial and astronomical purposes for this advanced civilization. Its impressive staircases lead our gaze towards heaven itself, reminding us of their deep connection with celestial bodies. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also glimpse into a world long gone. This photograph serves as a window into history, inviting us to explore and admire one of North America's most significant archaeological sites - Chichen Itza.
