Résumé
'For the Mexica, working with stone was an art, which they called in Nahuatl Tlateccáyotl. Like all art, it was made with hands, tools and techniques of specialists, who passed their knowledge from generation to generation. His work was so important that the tlatoani himself supervised it. Now, archaeology is responsible for studying these objects to learn more about the Mexica. Emiliano Melgar Tísoc, curator of this exhibition, has dedicated himself to studying the polished stone objects of the Templo Mayor archaeological site to discover the men and women who made the fabulous pieces that we find in this museum. Many of his findings are unexpected and others confirm what we already know about this society. If you were told that the Mexica used materials from as far away as Guatemala, or that they got objects from cultures that had disappeared many centuries before them, or that it is likely that in Xochimilco they were dedicated to jewelry made of obsidian, what would you think? Between the pages of this brochure, you will discover these and other secrets that Emiliano Melgar and his team share with us.'
