Description
English: PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT.Thanks.

I went to the Sound and Light Show at Uxmal which is about a legend:

Long ago there were three great cities in Yucatan, one of which was Mayapan. The king of Mayapan was Hunac-Cel, and he had a beautiful daughter named Sac-Nicte - which means "White Flower. Sac-Nicte was so lovely that anyone who caught a glimpse of her was happy for many days afterwards.

When she turned fifteen, her father promised her in marriage to the powerful Prince Ulil, from the city of Uxmal. But the young Princess Sac-Nicte was not in love with Ulil, her heart went with Prince Black Serpent, of Chichen-Itza. 

Prince Black Serpent was a great and powerful leader, when he turned twenty-one years old he became prince of Chichen-Itza, and that very day he saw Princess Sac-Nicte for the first time.

One night, a little voice whispered in Prince Black Serpent's ear, "The white flower that you love is going to be picked by another. Will you let it be taken from you?"

During the following weeks, people from all parts of Yucatan began arriving in Uxmal for the great wedding of Princess Sac-Nicte and Prince Ulil. They came with gifts of gold, silver, jade, copper, and of wood and stone. A picture of Princess Sac-Nicte and Prince Ulil standing side by side was carved into the stone wall of the palace.
