During the equinox the sun looks as if it is climbing the stairs during sunrise and sunset. An hour before sunset a wavy shadow appears on the western steps that looks like the body of a snake moving down the steps, and at the end of these steps is a snake head, adding to the effect. Thousands of people visit Chichen Itza on the equinox to observe this phenomenon.
