Meer over het boek
Michael D. Coe’s Mexico is recognized as a readable and authoritative introduction to the region’s ancient civilizations. This companion to The Maya incorporates new findings in various disciplines. The origin of maize-farming has been solved, and new discoveries shed light on Mexico’s earliest civilization, the Olmec culture. At Teotihuacan, recent investigations in the earliest monumental pyramid indicate the antiquity of certain sacrificial practices and the symbolism of the pyramid. Expanded information on the Huastec region of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico is included, while discoveries in the sacred precinct of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan have led to a refined understanding of the history and symbolism of this area.
