In this chapter, we shall travel to Chichen Itzá to find out about the knowledge held by the Mayas about Venus and the temple devoted to it: the Kukulkán. We’ll listen to a rock group, Sak Tzevul who sing about Maya concepts in ancient languages. We shall also visit the ancient Maya city of Uxmal. We then travel to the Achaya Observatory in Santiago de Chile, to take photographs of the conjunction of three planets: Venus, Jupiter and Mercury, and we shall see how the concept of Venus has inspired our arts and influenced the theatre. We shall also visit the Death Valley in California, the hottest environment on Earth, similar to that of Venus. Finally, we shall get to know the Venus Project, an initiative that seems almost like science fiction, whose goal is to re-think the cities for the future.

Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the sky, since the earliest civilizations until the present. In this crossing between the future and the past, this series travels through Latin America to discover the secrets of ancient temples devoted to stars in the Universe and to visit the world’s largest astronomical observatories with their cutting-edge technology, along with outstanding scientists. This trip will show us how the cosmos inspired, and continues to inspire, humanity and the arts.
To know the Universe is to know ourselves. Because the calcium in our bones and the iron in our blood came to us through the explosion of a star, thousands of years ago. Because we are all Sons of the Stars.
