Essay on a trip to Mexico where the splendid ancient civilization and colonial culture coexist.
In the process of excavating the Temple of Mayor, beautiful and historically valuable ceramics and ceramics were unearthed, and traces of the splendid Aztec civilization can be glimpsed. The relics excavated here are kept in the museum in temple, and Sun Stone is kept in the Mexican National Museum of Human History.
In the Aztec civilization, religious people, like Teotihuacan, thought that their world would disappear when the sun they believed in died, so they sacrificed people. Traces of it can be found in the Tzompantli, which was made of stone skulls and pasted on the walls of the temple.
There were many large and small temples and annexes around the temple. However, according to documents left by Catholic priests who came here after the conquest, there is a record that the temple that was originally located on the site of the cathedral was demolished and a church was built using the stones. In the market place outside the temple, a model map indicating that this was Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, informs the splendid times.
The best place to overlook the Temple of Mayor is the cafe on the second floor of the Libreria Porrua bookstore. This is a well-known place in Mexico City, visited by locals and tourists alike. You can taste traditional food at mealtimes and enjoy tea while enjoying the temple outside of mealtimes.
