The Aztec Calendar - Eduardo Matos Moctezuma

A unique book that brings together two of the most important
expressions of the pre-Hispanic era: The Aztec Calendar and the
solar symbol
Nahui Ollin . Time has transformed the Aztec Calendar into a symbol associated with ruthless human sacrifices
performed by the Mexicas. Well-documented studies by these two
talented scholars uncover the true purpose of the stone and the
historical events which resulted in the creation of this
marvelous monolith. This is the only book that brings together
photographs from other important solar monuments from multiple
private collections and various museums around the world. To
date, there is no other book that provides such a precise and
fascinating description of the meaning of the Aztec Calendar and
of Nahui Ollin. The book includes a unique booklet with six
transparencies which in full colour highlight each of the six
concentric circles of the Aztec Calendar.
