The Pre-Columbian Civilizations of Mesoamerica and the Central Andes (On Campus and Zoom)
We’ve all learned about the ancient civilizations of the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. But, what about those in our own backyard --- those of Mesoamerica and the Central Andes? For 3000 years before the Spanish conquest, indigenous societies flourished in these regions. In spite of having no contact with other ancient civilizations, they developed very complex societies with well-planned cities and amazing architecture, skilled craftsmanship, and many technological advancements. Join me as we explore the remarkable accomplishments of these fascinating peoples.
