Un patrimonio universal

"This work allows to cross roads and squares, between stairs, rafters, slopes and boards; it leads us to admire the creative genius of our ancestors, imagine the bustle in the markets, the expectation in the ball game, the showiness of the parties, the din of the teponaztli, the teachings of the wise to the youngest in each region or the solemnity of sacrificial rites. The pages of this book evoke a dazzling journey to decipher the symbolic codes, the models of thought, the scientific and technological advances, the patterns of cultural significance and the schemes of political organization contained in one of the symbols of Mesoamerican identity."
