The art of PreColumbian Mexico stretches across 5000 years and encompasses the traditions of numerous cultures including the Mayas, Incas and Aztecs. Ancient artefacts reflect an animistic society where it was believed that everything in nature was imbued with a soul or spirit. Addressing the Olmec period through to the Aztecs (a span of over 1000 years), this text is an exploration into the civilizations of Mesoamerica through an examination of over 250 art objects highlights include the Senor de Las Limas, jade masks, a giant Olmec head and a bowl used for preparation of human skin after sacrifice. Specific themes such as daily life, the underworld of the gods, funerary rites, religion and ritual and the role of animals and plants in the cultural life of the region are discussed, so providing an insightful view into some of the most fascinating societies history has ever seen. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at Amsterdams Nieuwe Kerk (and then the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg) this book draws on the expertise of numerous leading academics. The authoritative text is supported by reproductions of artefacts drawn from key ethnographical collections from around the world. Together these elements help create a story of a civilization in whom we can recognize the enduring quests and questions of humankind.

I recently purchased 'A Journey to the Land of the Gods' and I’m blown away by the art pieces featured in this book. The images of ancient treasures are stunning and really bring Mexico’s history to life. Perfect for anyone interested in art or history!

Not exactly what I expected
I was excited to dive into this book, but I found some of the text to be lacking depth. The art is beautiful, no doubt, but I wanted more background on each piece. It’s decent, but not quite what I hoped for.

Great visuals, but a bit pricey
The book showcases amazing artwork from ancient Mexico. I loved flipping through the pages. However, I felt like the price was a bit high for what it is. Still, I'm glad I added it to my collection!

My kids love it too!
I bought this book for myself, but my children are just as fascinated by it! The illustrations of the ancient treasures captivate them. It's a great way to teach them about Mexico’s rich culture. Highly recommend for families!

Arrived damaged, very disappointing
Unfortunately, my copy of this book arrived with a dent on the cover and a few pages crumpled. I was really looking forward to it, so I’m pretty upset. Not sure if I'll reorder or just return it.
