Synopsis

Cuando los europeos arribaron al continente americano, quedaron sorprendidos al descubrir civilizaciones con mas de tres mil anos de historia y una complejidad social y cultural totalmente distinta a la conocida por ellos, plena de enigmas que, a la fecha, no acaban de ser explicados. Teotihuacan, Tula, Palenque, Monte Alban, Tenochtitlan, expresion cosmica y urbanistica de olmecas, toltecas, mayas, zapotecas, mexicas, son tanto testimonio de caminos truncados en el desarrollo cultural de la humanidad, como un patrimonio que abre horizontes al futuro. En esta obra se busca proporcionar al lector una vision panoramica de toda aquella grandeza, mediante el auxilio de una informacion acuciosa, actualizada y amena asi como de esplendidos desplegados graficos a todo color.
