Mxico: gua de sitios arqueolgicos (Artes visuales) (Spanish Edition)

From the legendary Teotihuacn, to the mysterious El Tajn, from Palenque to Chichen Itz, the most famous Mexican archeological sites are studied in these pages. Enormous architectural complexes, monumental sculptures, sophisticated ceramic pieces and stupendous jewels are the testimony of the richness and refinement of the cultures of the people who lived here before the arrival of Columbus in this part of pre-Columbian America. The book is divided into chapters that study the distinct regions and archeological sites. Text and footnotes, rigorous but very clear, are accompanied by splendid photographic images and three dimensional reconstructions, drawings and various maps.
