The Aztec Templo Mayor : a visualization
"The Templo Mayor precinct in Tenochtitlan, Mexico, destroyed by Hernan Cortes in 1521, was the center stage for the drama of Aztec ceremonial life. The temple served as the setting for colorful displays of highly energized rituals depicting the relationships between social groups and humans and their gods. A Spanish observer at the time of the Conquest wrote of these ceremonies that he "saw things never seen before, not even in dreams.""
