The Toltec Civilization: An Enthralling Overview of the History of the Toltecs, Starting from the Classic Maya Period in Mesoamerica to the Rise of the Aztec Empire - Hardcover
Synopsis
If you are curious about how the intriguing Toltec civilization started, how the people lived, and how their culture influenced later generations, then keep reading!
Precursors to the Aztecs (amazing in their own right), the Toltec people were the pre-columbian Mesoamerican civilization honored for their artisanship and tactile warfare - considered so fierce and respectable that the Aztecs claimed descendency from them! How did this empire come to be regarded as the apex of culture, sophistication, and civilization? Why did the Aztecs overtake them, and how? And... which came first: the Mayans, the Toltecs, or the Aztecs?
Explore these questions and more as you step into amazing architectural sites in Indiana Joneseque style! Learn the mysteries behind their gods and religious ceremonies - including human sacrifice - and their special connection to Chichen Itza.
This easy-to-read, comprehensive, and engaging history of the Toltec Civilization brings you into the world of little-known, inspiring - and sometimes surprising - stories and culture of these legendary people. This well-researched and authoritative presentation delves into every aspect of the Toltecs, bringing light to bear on this ancient and interesting civilization. After all, the Aztecs were fond enough to claim Toltecs as their direct ancestors; they must have been greatly influenced by this amazing culture!
