| Abstract: |
The archaeological and ethnological research carried out in the last decades in Mesoamerica has allowed to know better diverse topics of the cosmology in regions little studied till now. Though one can distinguish a common substratum from the Mesoamerican living together throughout many centuries, the cultural local peculiarities frequently seem to dominate the message expressed in the Prehispanic art. In this work we present cosmological ideas from Olmec and Huaxtec regions which show distinctive features but at the same time suggest an obvious unity concerning calendrical concepts. The previous thing demonstrates clearly the richness of alternatives that followed the Mesoamerican cosmological thought. |
