Description

The past of the territory that today is known as Mexico is glorious, the diverse cultures developed impressive architectural works, calendars, mathematics, farming systems and of course very complex social systems; notwithstanding the above, its history, its thought and its worldview are not so complicated if part of its ideology is known. Join me on a journey into the past, to learn a little of the worldview of the original peoples of Mexico; this tour will give you a different context and your vision of the cultures of Mesoamerica will surely change. Why are the representations on vessels, pictograms and stone engravings of animals? Why did they use snakes, eagles or jaguars in their attire or paintings? What do the sun and the moon represent? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, or if you simply want to know more about the cultures that inhabited Mexico in ancient times, then this is the tour for you; history does not have to be boring, come with me to visit the most important and impressive rooms of this beautiful museum.
