SynopsisSome 3500 years ago in the region of modern Mexico, the ancient Olmecs farmed, traded and created beautiful art. They would be superseded by the Toltecs, the Maya and the Aztecs. With a new introduction and curated extracts, this book traces the development of these societies up until the fateful Spanish conquest. Flame Tree Collector's Edition, Presenting the foundations of modern imaginative literature, bringing the best and most influential works into a striking and collectable library., Gorgeous Collector's Edition. Mesoamerican culture is rooted in the region of modern Mexico where some 3500 years ago ancient peoples called the Olmecs farmed and created beautiful art and pottery at roughly the same time as the Middle Kingdom Ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians and a little after the Indus Valley societies of India. After the Olmecs many different groups emerged, amongst them the sophisticated Maya 200 years after the beginning of the Common Era. In turn they would be superseded by the Toltecs, during the long period that the Vikings swept across the length of Europe in search of silver. Another precious metal, gold, was plentiful in the Americas, the control of which was mastered by the successors of the Toltecs, the Aztecs, also known as the Mexica, who grew to dominate the region from the 13th to the 15th Century. Soon they would lend their name to the a great new city, Mexico. Through a fascinating selection of historical texts on the region and a thoughtful new introduction summarising how we understand the region today, his book traces the development of the early peoples, the emergence of some of the key civilizations of the many rich and varied societies of Mesoamerica, ending tragically with arrival of the Spanish explorers hungry for land, and for Aztec gold. Flame Tree Collector's Editionspresent the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new Introduction and a Glossary of Terms or lists of Ancient Leaders., From the Olmecs to the Aztecs, this wonderful new book brings the history of the region alive through a fascinating selection of historical texts. A perfect companion to the myths and legends of Central America, it highlights the cultural and mathematical developments, social and spiritual life and the great cities of Tula, Tenochtitlan and Mexico.
