The Teotihuacanos (en Inglés) - Elliot Rowan

Drawing on archaeological discoveries, murals, burials, monumental architecture, material evidence, and inscriptions preserved by neighboring civilizations, Rowan reconstructs the world of a people who left no deciphered historical chronicles of their own. He examines the construction of the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon, the mystery surrounding Teotihuacan's government, its multicultural neighborhoods and specialized craftsmen, its religious traditions and ritual sacrifices, and the extensive networks that carried its obsidian, symbols, and influence as far as the Maya cities of Guatemala.

More than the story of an extraordinary ancient metropolis, this book reveals how Teotihuacan transformed the political and cultural landscape of Mesoamerica. Although the city declined and its original builders disappeared from historical memory, later civilizations continued to regard its immense ruins with reverence. Its pyramids still dominate the Valley of Mexico today, preserving the legacy of a civilization whose achievements remain monumental even as many of its deepest mysteries endure.
