The high cultures of the Aztecs and Maya are certainly the most well-known, but they are not the only ones from ancient Mexico. The Olmecs, as well as cities like Teotihuacán and Tula, also left behind magnificent artworks and the first writing, numerical, and calendar systems in the Americas. This volume not only provides an overview of the diversity of ancient Mexican high cultures but also demonstrates how indigenous traditions continue to shape Mexico's history to this day.
