Description
The Templo Mayor precinct at Tenochtitlan in Mexico was once a very powerful centre in Aztec ceremonial life, providing the setting for displays of highly-energized rituals. This book uses the contemporary archaeological research and state-of-the-art computer-generated three-dimensional colour imagery to reconstruct the spaces where these ritual dramas were played out. Through a series of isometric drawings and sections cut through buildings, the writer has created a compelling reconstruction of the way the temple looked, and the way it evolved from a scatter of mud and thatch huts to turn into some of the impressive urban complexes on this planet.
