Ancient Civilizations of Mexico and Central America


Read by Mario Pineda

(4.2 stars; 2 reviews)

The ancient cultures of Mesoamerica developed art, stone cities, and sciences (especially astronomy and mathematics), to a degree that surpasses anything else existing in the New World. These developments may even match or overtake some developments made by the major civilizations of Europe or Asia. The author actually compares the Mayan with the Ancient Greeks, and the Aztecs with the Romans: such was their influence and impact. This book describes some of their achievements.
