Kʼukʼulkan

K’uk’ulkan is a Mayan serpent deity often associated with wind, water, and renewal. Its name translates to "Feathered Serpent," reflecting a blend of bird and serpent symbolism. Importantly linked to Mayan architecture, it appears as a prominent stone figure at Chichen Itza, where a shadow creates the illusion of a serpent descending the pyramid during the equinoxes. This symbolizes fertility, renewal, and spiritual power. K’uk’ulkan embodies both physical and spiritual aspects of life, representing rebirth through natural elements and cultural storytelling within Mayan civilization.
