본문내용

From deep in a well near the ruins of the Mayan city of Chichen Itza, archeoastronomer Arturo Montero shouts to his colleague on the surface, “I saw it, I saw it! Yes, it’s true!” Leaning over the mouth of the well, archeologist Guillermo de Anda hopes to hear what he has suspected for many months. “What is true, Arturo?” he shouts. And Montero yells up again, “The zenith light! It really works! Get down here!”
마야 도시 치첸 잇자의 폐허 근처 깊은 곳에서 아르츄로 몬테로가 수면 위의 동료에게 외친다, "나는 그것을 보았다, 내가 보았다! 그래, 사실이야!" 우물의 입가에 기대고 있는 고고학자 기예르모 데 안다는 수개월 동안 그가 의심해 온 것을 듣고 싶어한다. "무엇이 사실인가, 아르투로?" 그가 소리친다. 그리고 몬테로는 다시 소리친다, "제니스 그것은 정말 효과가 있단다! 이리로 내려오!"

The two archeologists are anxious to confirm whether this cenote could have acted as a sacred sundial and timekeeper for the ancient Maya. On two days every year-May 23 and July 19-the sun reaches its zenith over this part of Mexico. At those moments, the sun is vertically overhead and there is no shadow.
