This book, with its magnificent illustrations and updated information, is at a minimum a sample of the splendor of 30 centuries of pre-Columbian history.

Este libro, con sus magn???ficas ilustraciones e informaci???n actualizada, es una m???nima muestra de ese esplendor de treinta siglos en la historia de Mesoam???rica.
