Items related to Lords of Creation: The Origins of Sacred Maya Kingship
Divinely sanctioned kingship is found among the ancient civilizations throughout the world. It has been a largely unexplored process in ancient Mesoamerica. Sacred kings, who played key roles in the emergence of complex urban society, first appeared among the Olmec on the Gulf Coast of Mexico around 900 BC, but the full growth of this phenomenon occurred in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and the western Honduras among the most brilliant of the New World civilizations: the Maya.
Published to accompany the exhibition at the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art (September 2005), the Dallas Museum of Art (February 2006) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (June 2006), this superb book documents the development of royal authority among the ancient Maya and their descendants, exploring central historical issues and seminal artworks that exemplify Maya divine kingship.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Das göttlich sanktionierte Königtum findet sich in allen alten Zivilisationen der Welt. Im alten Mesoamerika war dies ein weitgehend unerforschter Prozess. Heilige Könige, die eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Entstehung einer komplexen städtischen Gesellschaft spielten, tauchten erstmals um 900 v. Chr. bei den Olmeken an der Golfküste Mexikos auf, aber die volle Entfaltung dieses Phänomens fand im Süden Mexikos, in Guatemala, Belize und im westlichen Honduras unter der brillantesten Zivilisation der Neuen Welt statt: den Maya. Dieses Buch dokumentiert die Entwicklung der königlichen Autorität bei den alten Maya und ihren Nachfahren und untersucht zentrale historische Themen und bahnbrechende Kunstwerke, die das göttliche Königtum der Maya veranschaulichen. (Text engl.)\\nSachgruppen: Geisteswissenschaften, Kunst, Musik, Kunst, Kunstgeschichte Format: 30,00 x 25,00 x 2,50 cm Englisch. Seller Inventory # 506672
