Sincerely, Professor Z LECTURE INFO: Dr. Leonardo López Luján Archaeology of Tenochtitlan: Unearthing the Aztec Great Temple “The Proyecto Templo Mayor of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia was created in 1978, as a consequence of the discovery of a monolith depicting Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec moon goddess. Since then, other impressive public monuments have come to light in downtown Mexico City, in the area occupied by the sacred precinct of Tenochtitlan. Archaeologists recently uncovered the largest Aztec sculpture ever found, that of the earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli. After an overview on the history of archaeology in Mexico City, this lecture will focus on the new Tlaltecuhtli stone, undertaking a formal, iconographic, and symbolic analysis to unveil its functions and meanings. The exceptionally rich offerings buried under this sculpture will also be described. Finally, the possible presence of a royal tomb at the foot of the Great Temple will be discussed.” SoA Lecture Series: Dr. Leonardo López Luján Time: December 2, 2021 01:00 PM Arizona Join Zoom Meeting https://arizona.zoom.us/j/86753996574 Zoom Meeting: https://arizona.zoom.us/j/86753996574
