Sinossi

Aztec Time explores how the Aztec civilization meticulously tracked time using a dual-calendar system, deeply entwined with their religious observances and agricultural practices. This system, comprised of the 365-day solar Xiuhpohualli and the 260-day ritual Tonalpohualli, dictated not only the timing of ceremonies but also agricultural cycles and even warfare. The Aztecs' sophisticated timekeeping provides a window into their worldview, showcasing their ability to integrate spiritual beliefs with practical necessities.

 
The book uniquely examines the Aztec calendar as more than just a timekeeping device, presenting it as a framework that structured their entire society and reflected their relationship with the natural world. For instance, the convergence of the two calendars every 52 years marked a period of great cosmological significance.

 
Using archaeological findings, ethnohistorical accounts, and archaeoastronomy, Aztec Time presents a comprehensive overview, beginning with the components of the calendar and progressing through its religious significance, influence on social hierarchies, and its broader legacy in Mesoamerican studies. The arguments are supported by diverse evidence, offering insights into ancient cultures and the development of complex systems of knowledge. By understanding the Aztec calendar, readers gain a deeper appreciation for how this Mesoamerican civilization shaped its world.

    To escape this dark world, I must resist the temptations of the labyrinth. 
They brought a “cursed” board game to the Halloween party. I didn’t believe it. I laughed and made jokes while we played. 
I made it angry. 
Now I’m trapped in an underground labyrinth. Stalked by the minotaur, I flee for my life. It wants to capture me. It wants to keep me as its pet—its servant. 
And the labyrinth…it’s trying to seduce me. Strange smells…strange statues… 
My body is morphing. My mind is crumbling. I’ll never be able to leave this sick, beautiful dungeon.

    The De Monarchia is one of the main works by Dante Alighieri. It is a treatise on secular and religious power, and more specifically on the relationship between secular authority (represented by the Holy Roman Emperor) and religious authority (represented by the Pope).  The work is composed of three books, in which Dante condemns the theocratic conception of the power elaborated by the Roman Church and defends that both the Pope and the Emperor derive their power from God, and, that being so, God gave to each power in one certain area of life, which means they should not interfere with each other's power and one should not be considered above the other. - Summary by Leni
