Out of varied landscapes grew some of the richest cultures of the early historic world ~ Olmec, Zapotec, Maya, Toltec and Aztec. Standard histories tend to focus on the individual societies, but this new book takes an original approach, emphasizing the unity of Mexican civilization. In a series of attractively written vignettes, Jeremy Sabloff describes, first of all, what it would have been like to have lived during the heyday of Mexico's greatest cities, from Olmec San Lorenzo 3,000 years ago to the Aztec Tenochtitlan at the Spanish Conquest. Through the eyes of astronomers and ballplayers, merchants and priests, we see the temples, palaces and tombs of a civilization obsessed with ritual and death. But what gave rise to these cities? Who built them and how do we know? Tackling head on the speculations of Erich von Daniken and others about visitors from Asia or outer space, Sabloff explains convincingly just why archaeologists believe in the indigenous origins of Mexican civilization. He reveals the new ideas and techniques now revolutionizing archaeological fieldwork and shows how the latest evidence is being used to reconstruct a fuller picture of the past than ever before. A fully annotated reading list, gazetteer of all the major sites and broad range of illustrations complete this imaginative essay in historical reconstruction.
