    My artifact is the Double-headed serpent, it is from the 15th-16th century and plays a very important role in the Aztec religion. The double-headed serpent is made from turquoise pieces applied to a wood base, there is one head on the front and another head on the back. The serpent represents many gods such as Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent), Xiuhcoatl (Fire Serpent), Mixcoatl (Cloud Serpent) or Coatlicue (She of the Serpent Skirt), and the mother of the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli. Likewise, when snakes shed their skin each year it led the Aztecs to convey ideas about renewal and transformation. Most Aztecs even put it around their neck as a necklace. Based on Khan Academy; it states that the serpent imagery is symbolized throughout the religion.…

    Native American architecture varies greatly from region to region throughout North America, and was influenced by factors such as climate, kind of community, and the natural environment. Whereas some buildings were designed and constructed for specified functions, others, such as Anasazi great houses, were massive multi-purpose structures. Because great houses from Chaco Canyon are so well preserved, it is possible to have a decent understanding of the structure of Anasazi architecture for analysis. A close examination of the innovative Anasazi great house architecture of the Chaco Canyon region reveals its utilitarian value.…

    Tlaltecuhtli

    • 2059 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Ancient Mesoamerican art possesses the ability to inform, inspire, and awe any person that has the opportunity to look upon it, particularly the art of the Aztecs. Aztec art gives historians today a major clue into the rituals, beliefs, and daily lifestyle of this ancient civilization. Although many Aztec artifacts have been found in Mexico over the years (and are still being found to this day), one of the most prolific discoveries made of ancient Aztec art is that of the Tlaltecuhtli monument found less than a decade ago, which has provided important clues to further knowledge of the Aztec. In my paper, I plan to explain the Tlaltecuhtli monument’s important historical relevance, and the process in which I have worked to recreate a much smaller replica of this monument, which will hopefully accurately depict the power and beauty of the original.…

    Teotihuacan was a huge metropolis in what is now southern Mexico. It became a large city before 100CE and reached the height of its size from about 600-650CE. At its height it was home to roughly 125,000 inhabitants. There is a permanent springs nearby the ancient city, and satellite photos have indicated the presence of a possible irrigation system with canals used to water farm sites. Although the age of the irrigation canals has yet to be established it seems to be highly probable that this canal system was…

    “Teotihuacan, located in the Basin of Central Mexico, was the largest, most influential, and certainly most revered city in the history of the New World, and it flourished in Mesoamerica's Golden Age, the Classic Period of the first millennium CE.” ("Teotihuacan."). 125,000-150,000 inhabitants occupied Teotihuacan at the height of its power around 450 C.E., and it was one of the largest ancient urban centers during its time. Teotihuacan is known for its modern city layout (grid pattern) that contains a long boulevard (known as the Avenue of the Dead), and some of the largest buildings ever erected in the New World. The largest buildings (pyramids) were dedicated to the Sun and Moon and to Quetzalcoatl. These pyramids date back to 200 C.E.,…

    Ziggurats were used in ancient times for purposes of worship and to fulfill spiritual needs. One example, The Pyramid of the Magician, has a legend attached to it depicting the god Itzamna who had single-handedly built it in one night. The Pyramid of the Magician is, by 100 feet, the tallest architectural structure in the city of Uxmal on the Yucatan peninsula. Interestingly enough, the pyramid has a stairwell that faces the setting sun on summer solstice. Also of note, the whole city is perfectly aligned to mimic how the planets were thought to lie in the solar system at the time.…

    El Castillo was constructed by the Maya at approximately 1050 A.D (National Geographic). It is a marvel of ancient engineering; not only the size of the pyramid, but the intelligence needed to creat a structure like it. First of all, there are 91 steps on each of the four sides of the pyramid, and with the top step it totals 365 (National Geographic). This represents the 365 days of the year. Another feature developed into the pyramid is the Serpent of the Equinox. Every spring and fall equinox the light reflects just right on the pyramid, and forms a huge serpent that appears to be moving down the pyramid (ancient.eu). El Castillo is a very complex and sophisticated pyramid that symbolizes the entire Maya…

    Horoscopes, and more specifically the whole science of astrology, have been a hotly debated topic for years. Created in ancient cultures, systems of reading the stars and the cosmos have always played an important part of ancient societies. Take the ancient Aztecs, Mayans, Babylonians, Greeks, or Egyptians for example. The Great Pyramids, the only remaining wonder of the ancient world, heavily rely on the positions of the Sun and planets in its design, while other aspects of astrology have been incorporated into the architecture.…
