Summary

Dramatizes the history of ancient Mexican cities through reenactments. Volume 1 examines the Aztecs of Teotihuacán through murals found on the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon and in the temple of Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent god, and describes various concepts of Aztec cosmology including the movement of time and the division of ages. Volume 2 is set in Palenque, the first known major settlement of the Mayan culture. Through the interpretation of inscriptions found on the walls of the main buildings, the rites and rituals of the Mayans are described. Examines the lives of significant rulers such as Halach Vinic, the Solar Prince, and Kuk Quetzl, the last lord of Palenque, and describes human sacrifice in religious rituals. Volume 3 looks at the last days of the Mayan empire at Chichén Itzá, a major trading center between Uxmal and Coba, through codices written by Chilam Balam, the last Mayan diviner.
