Chichén Itzá
- The city of the wise men of the water.
The
subject of this book is the history of the wise men of the water,
better known as Chichén Itzá. After identifying the origins, movements
and creations of the Itzá, Róman Pińa Chan succeeds in founding
an innovative hypothesis: it was not the Toltecs who influenced
the Itzá, but the Itzá who, much later determined certain artistic
and even religious concepts amongst the people of Tula, principally
by means of their impressive architectural works. Chichén Itzá
- The city of the wise men of the water, includes more than one
hundred photographs and drawings.
