In a feast of colors and sounds, Mayan Archaeoastronomy: Observers of the Universe intertwines science and mythology on a poetic journey describing the way Mayans viewed and understood the Universe.

The movie includes a tour of six Mayan temples, including San Gervasio, Chichen Itzá, Uxmal, Edzná, Palenque, and Bonampak. The importance of the temple’s orientation in relation to the movements of the Sun, Moon, and Venus is vividly depicted.

The film financed by the National Council of Science and Technology of Mexico, produced by Frutos Digitales with the support of the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
