Aztecs & Mayas...a Tribute.

In this gallery I show beautiful samples of the great Aztec and Maya Cultures.
Cultures that leave us great traditions and knowledge, cultures that made the base of today's México.

The gallery begins with some samples of prehistoric humans as introduction.

This pieces belongs to the splendid Museo Nacional de Antropología in México City, a place you must visit.

Enjoy it!

well done; these 'maize deities' could also be rainmakers
