Synopsis
Unraveling the ancient roots of Mexican history through a pivotal monument.
This work presents a careful reading of a major Toltec-Aztec relic, linking its inscriptions to a native calendar, cosmology, and the rise of Tenochtitlan.
The volume frames how archaeologists and historians interpret the stone’s dates and symbols, weighing several competing readings while staying grounded in the artifacts themselves. It explains how the long cycles of 104 and 416 years guided indigenous chronology and how those ideas shaped historical memory.- A detailed look at the 104-year and 416-year calendar cycles and their cultural significance.
- Analysis of how the monument encodes dates tied to the founding of Mexico and other key events.
- Discussion of how different codices and sources inform the interpretation of the relief.
- Clarified view of the Toltec and Aztec contributions to chronology and cosmology.
