Chichen Itza in Mexico
"Chichen Itza flourished between 600 and 1200 CE as a major Maya city where astronomy, sport, and ritual converged around El Castillo. Twice a year, shadows create a serpent descending the stair — a solar calendar in stone. The drawing emphasizes terraced levels, flat-top shrine, and surrounding ceiba trees. Shade limestone in warm beige, add jungle emerald, and use burnt orange for late-day sunlight that once guided ancient observers."
