The Guinness Encyclopedia Of Popular Music Hardcover (4 Volumes) 4 Books
Cities of Blood is a gripping exploration of the Mesoamerican civilisations, focusing primarily on the rise and fall of the Maya and the Aztecs. Peter Ackroyd delves into their sophisticated understanding of astronomy and mathematics, contrasted against the brutal ritual sacrifices that were central to their religious and social order.
The book brings the magnificent cities of Chichén Itzá and Tenochtitlan to life, detailing the architectural genius of their stepped pyramids and the complex social structures that governed their empires. It also chronicles the dramatic and devastating arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, which led to the sudden collapse of these powerful cultures and the loss of much of their ancient wisdom.
