Resumen

The author reaffirms her hypothesis, corroborated by other scholars, about the importance of the solstice points as markers of a cosmic rectangular space ruled by the Sun. Importance which is shown in the solstice registers in the archaeological sites, in the symbolism of the kin and ollin glyphs as well as in the cosmic diagrams, in the festivals celebrated during the solstices and in the agricultural rituals, specially the ones held in the maize fields.
