Sinopsis

Mesoamerican Time explores the fascinating origins and evolution of ancient Mesoamerican calendars, revealing how societies without advanced technology developed remarkably precise timekeeping systems. The book traces these systems from the Olmecs and Zapotecs to the more well-known Maya and Aztecs, demonstrating how these calendars were integral to religious beliefs, agricultural practices, and political structures. Intriguingly, these calendars were not just about tracking days; they were deeply intertwined with understanding the cosmos, and the book highlights how the 260-day Tzolkin ritual calendar, and the 365-day Haab solar calendar worked together.

 
The book emphasizes the foundational contributions of the Olmecs and Zapotecs, often overlooked in favor of the Maya. It examines the Long Count calendar and other systems, presenting historical context, Mesoamerican mathematics, and hieroglyphic writing to explain their complexity. By analyzing stelae inscriptions, monumental art, and archaeological site layouts, the book progresses from introducing basic concepts to exploring the specific contributions of each civilization, ultimately examining the enduring legacy and modern relevance of these ingenious systems.

    The BRAND NEW final instalment in Adam Lofthouse's epic Enemy of the Empire trilogy. ⚔️ If you like Matthew Harffy and Ben Kane, you will love this! 
    And so we have reached the end of my tale. But what are endings if not new beginnings? 
    Alaric has been home for a year. He went north and saved the Cimbri, just as he said he would. But the cost has been higher than he ever thought. A shadow of the War Lord he once was, he now trades in amber and dotes on his children. 
    A simple life. And with it, contentment. But he knew this couldn’t last forever; peace isn’t for someone like him, and sure enough trouble finds him once again. A routine journey south turns into a new and unknown wave of danger as red-cloaked legionaries attack, causing confusion and carnage. 
    Warriors dressed as Romans have been scouring the country, slaughtering innocent people, and leaving Roman footprints wherever they march. But things are not what they seem, and it falls to Alaric to don his armour once more, and march his Ravensworn in pursuit of a mysterious enemy that could destabilise his world beyond repair.
