Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the dramatic events of the 1865 discovery of a massive stone Zodiac in the heart of Mexico City. The author draws on decades of archeological research and knowledge of Mesoamerican civilizations to paint a detailed portrait of the Zodiac and its role in Mexican culture, astronomy, and religious practices. The Zodiac is described in vivid detail with particular focus on its astronomical and iconographic significance, particularly in the context of the Mayan calendar and other pre-Columbian cosmologies. The author also discusses the controversial theories surrounding the stone's origins and purpose, exploring its potential connection to ancient Egyptian and Babylonian astrology. The book's insights add valuable nuance to our understanding of both the Zodiac itself and the complexity of ancient Mexican civilization.
