Duverger puts forth a coherent, dynamic and attractive history of Mexico's pre-Hispanic origins. Leaving behind the antiquated approach that looked at each individual culture as isolated in time and space, Duverger composes an enigmatic puzzle that explains the birth of Mesoamerica. One of the book's key contributions is providing 28 Centuries of cultural continuity, which helps to understand human sacrifice, binary thinking, iconic writing and polytheist cults.
