It looks like a serpent crawling up because of the shadows of the steps and sun.

That's El Castillo, the Temple of Kukulcan, at Chichén Itzá. The serpent crawls on the spring and fall equinoxes--I believe in the Spring he crawls down and in the fall he crawls up. It is a Mayan pyramid, not an Aztec one.

That pyramid is in Chichen Itza. It is called El Castillo (The Castle), although its Mayan name is Kukulkan. I saw it in 1981. It is near Merida, in Yucatan state.
