English: National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico. The Maya civilization is the first and most brilliant civilization of precolombian culture. It developed during the first centuries of our era on the borders of Guatemala, Mexico and Honduras and reached its height between the IVth and the VIIth Century. However, social troubles stopped its development. Then the Toltec people came, conquered central Mexico by force and occupied the main part of the region during several centuries. The Aztecs, last to arrive and who were more aggressive, finally managed to dominate the entire region. Zapotec urn made of clay and representing the goddess 13 snakes. Unknown origin.
Français : Musée National d'Anthropologie de Mexico. La première et la plus brillante des civilisations précolombiennes, celle des Mayas, apparaît sur les confins du Guatemala, du Mexique et du Honduras au cours des premiers siècles de notre ère. Elle atteint son apogée entre le IVe et le VIIe siècle, puis des troubles sociaux mettent fin à son épanouissement. Viennent ensuite les Toltèques qui s'assurent, par les armes, la domination du Mexique central. Ce peuple a régné sur la plus grande partie de cette région pendant plusieurs siècles. Derniers venus dans l'Histoire, les Aztèques, plus belliqueux, parviennent à soumettre les autres peuples à leur hégémonie. Urne de terre Zapotèque représentant la déesse 13 serpents. Origine inconnue.
