The Aztecs by Frances F. Berdan Pdf

In this rich and surprising book, Frances F. Berdan shines fresh light on the enigmatic ancient Aztecs. She casts her net wide, covering topics as diverse as ethnicity, empire-building, palace life, etiquette, origin myths, and human sacrifice. While the Aztecs are often described as “stone age,” their achievements were remarkable. They constructed lofty temples and produced fine arts in precious stones, gold, and shimmering feathers. They crafted beautiful poetry and studied the sciences. They had schools and libraries, entrepreneurs and money, and a bewildering array of deities and dramatic ceremonies. Based on the latest research and lavishly illustrated, this book reveals the Aztecs to have created a civilization of sophistication and finesse.

At Home with the Aztecs by Michael Ernest Smith Pdf

At Home with the Aztecs provides a fresh view of Aztec society, focusing on households and communities instead of kings, pyramids, and human sacrifice. This new approach offers an opportunity to humanize the Aztecs, moving past the popular stereotype of sacrificial maniacs to demonstrate that these were successful and prosperous communities. Michael Smith also engagingly describes the scientific, logistic and personal dimensions of archaeological fieldwork, drawing on decades of excavating experience and considering how his research was affected by his interaction with contemporary Mexican communities. Through first-hand accounts of the ways archaeologists interpret sites and artifacts, the book illuminates how the archaeological process can provide information about ancient families. Facilitating a richer understanding of the Aztec world, Smith's research also redefines success, prosperity and resilience in ancient societies, making this book suitable not only for those interested in the Aztecs but in the examination of complex societies in general.

Aztecs by Doris Kurella,Martin Berger,Inés de Castro Pdf

The landing of Hernan Cortes in Mexico in 1519 marked the end of the Aztec Empire. Spectacular, sometimes unpublished finds presented in this volume demonstrate the wealth of this culture while providing comprehensive insight into the fascinating history of the Aztec Empire. Renowned experts tell of the political, societal, and economic structures, of cultural achievements such as the complex calendar system and the Aztec language, and of religious rites. Previous objects from the magnificent furnishings of the palace of Emperor Moctezuma and the main temple Temple Mayor, including recently discovered sacrificial offerings that have never previously been exhibited, bear witness to the high standards of Aztec art and craftsmanship.

The Aztecs by Dirk R. Van Tuerenhout Pdf

"In only two centuries, the Aztecs conquered an area from the present location of Mexico City to both coasts of Mexico. They built a city that inspired awe in the Spanish invaders; built irrigation canals, aqueducts, and roads; developed productive agricultural techniques; produced art and architecture that is still admired; had one of the few writing systems in pre-Columbian America; and were accomplished mathematicians and astronomers. The Aztecs details not just the well-known aspects of war and empire, but also the whole of Aztec life. It draws on a wealth of information to present the first balanced and complete account of one of the great New World cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
