ArtsNational Canb. Special Interest Morning: Eileen Goulding
SPECIAL INTEREST MORNING
• MESOAMERICAN PYRAMIDS -- TOMBS OR TEMPLES
Colossal pyramids are scattered across Mesoamerica but are they the same as those built by ancient Egyptians? Eileen will take you on a tour of several pyramid sites, including Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza, to compare their function and design and identify the people who built them and the artefacts they left behind.
• AZTEC AND MAYA CIVILISATIONS OF MEXICO
Human hearts, blood and children’s tears were all necessary to quench the hunger of the bloodthirsty gods of Mexico. If their needs were not satisfied the consequences for the nation would be catastrophic. In this lecture we discover some of their ancient gods and learn about the religious rites designed to appease them.
