Description

Five manuscripts in one book:


• The Aztec Empire: An Enthralling Overview of the History of the Aztecs, Starting with the Settlement in the Valley of Mexico

• The Maya Civilization: An Enthralling Overview of Maya History, Starting from the Olmecs' Domination of Ancient Mexico to the Arrival of Hernan Cortes and the Spanish Conquest

• The Olmec Civilization: An Enthralling Overview of the History of the Olmecs, Starting from Agriculture in Mesoamerica to the Fall of La Venta

• The Toltec Civilization: An Enthralling Overview of the History of the Toltecs, Starting from the Classic Maya Period in Mesoamerica to the Rise of the Aztec Empire

• Teotihuacan: An Enthralling Overview of the First Large City in Mesoamerica and Its Influence on Mesoamerican Civilizations Such as the Maya Civilization and Aztecs

Explore the mesmerizing origins of the Aztecs, discover how a wandering desert tribe came to rule much of present-day Mexico, and investigate the spectacular - albeit somewhat depraved - culture that set their civilization apart.

In the first part of this book, you will discover:

• What secrets have recent archaeological finds uncovered about the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican cultures?

• How did the startling cultures that existed before the Aztecs influence them? What made these pre-existing cultures famous?

• How did conquistador Hernán Cortés cunningly form alliances with the Aztecs' enemies?

Maya Civilization takes readers on a journey that few have taken, deep into the Mayans' lineage, customs, politics, and daily life. Join us as we delve deep into the Maya story, uncovering stories, facts, and theories about this important - yet perplexing - society.

In the second part of this book, you will explore:

• The bitter irony of Catholicism's spread in Maya culture

• Who was the "mother civilization" of Mesoamerica?

• Did they really practice human sacrifice?

• How did the large cities influence Mayan society - and who ruled them?

Olmec Civilization takes readers on a journey that few have taken, deep into archaeological sites, artifacts, and the many theories surrounding the Olmecs and their history, so shrouded in mystery.

In the third part of this book, you'll learn:

• Why their placement in Mesoamerica's history is so important

• Why a rock overhang was so crucial to their survival

• How the Olmecs domesticated - - yes, corn!

• Why is a child/jaguar mix so important?

Precursors to the Aztecs (amazing in their own right), the Toltec people were the pre-columbian Mesoamerican civilization honored for their artisanship and tactile warfare - considered so fierce and respectable that the Aztecs claimed descendency from them!

In the fourth part of this book, you will explore:

• What secrets have recent archaeological finds uncovered about the Toltecs and other Mesoamerican cultures?

• How did the Mayan culture influence the Toltecs?

• What - and where - is the Wall of Serpents?

Teotihuacan stood out as Mesoamerica's leading metropolis from the 3rd to 6th century CE. Its multi-ethnic population developed coast-to-coast trade, extending south to Central America. They painted spectacular murals, created dramatic sculptures, and established a commercial center with hundreds of workshops producing razor-sharp obsidian weaponry, exquisite ceramics, and flamboyant clothing.

In the last part of this book, you will discover:

• Who built Teotihuacan?

• How did the city rise to become a super city-state and trade empire?

• How did Teotihuacan influence the Aztecs?

• And much, much more!
