When the Europeans opened up the American continent, they were surprised to discover civilizations already there with over 3,000 years of history, with a complex society and cultural totally distinct to what they were accustomed to. 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. Cuando los europeos arribaron al Continente Americano, quedaron sorprendidos al descubrir civilizaciones con m�s de tres mil a�os de historia y una complejidad social y cultural totalmente distinta a la conocida por ellos, plena de enigmas que, a la fecha, no acaban de ser explicados. Teot�huac�n, Tula, Palenque, Monte Alb�n, Tenochtitl�n, expresi�n c�smica y urban�stica de olmecas, toltecas, mayas, zapotecas, mexicas, son tanto testimonio de caminos truncados en el desarrollo cultural de la humanidad, como un patrimonio que abre horizontes al futuro. 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.
