“…The domain LIGHT, to start with, is used by travellers in order to refer to the physical characteristics of the pyramids, described here as brilliant and surrounded by an aura. This connection between light and beauty is deeply rooted in the Western canon of beauty (Franzen, 2012;Minaya, 2019), and it can be furthermore connected with the Christian identification between God and 'the splendour of a sort of luminous current that permeates the entire universe' (Eco, 2004, p. 102). In contrast with this, as has been described above, Japanese travellers highlight the force emanated by the shadows of the pyramids: in this sense, a parallel can be established between the aesthetic role of the shadow projected by the pyramids and the relevance of the contrast between light and darkness and the appreciation of shadows that characterizes Japanese aesthetics 7 .…”

“…En principio, los viajeros utilizan el dominio LUZ para referirse a las características físicas de las pirámides, descritas aquí como brilliant brillantes y rodeadas por un aura 'aura'. Esta conexión entre luz y belleza está profundamente arraigada en el canon occidental de la belleza (Franzen, 2012;Minaya, 2019), y además puede ser conectada con la identificación cristiana entre Dios y 'el esplendor de una suerte de corriente luminosa que se infiltra en todo el universo' (Eco, 2004, p. 102). En contraste con lo anterior, como ya se ha descrito los viajeros japoneses destacan la fuerza emanada por las sombras de las pirámides: en este sentido, se puede establecer un paralelismo entre la función estética de la sombra proyectada por las pirámides y la importancia del contraste entre luz y oscuridad, y la apreciación de las sombras que caracterizan la estética japonesa 7 .…”
