Review: "Teotihuacan was one of the earliest and more populous pre-Colombian cities, and the Feathered Serpent was its vital monument, erected circa AD 200. This work explores the religious meanings and political implications of the pyramid with meticulous and thorough analyses of substantially new excavation data. Challenging the traditional view of the city as a legendary, sacred, or anonymously governed center, the book provides significant new insights into the Teotihuacan polity and society."--Jacket.Review: "Teotihuacan was one of the earliest and more populous pre-Colombian cities, and the Feathered Serpent was its vital monument, erected circa AD 200.
