- Description |
Long before contact with Europeans, sophisticated pre-Columbian civilizations, like the Mayans, Aztecs and Zapotecs, built vast, temple-filled cities across Mesoamerica. Their worldview celebrated nature, conquest, the underworld, and the mystery of the sky above. Pre~Columbia captures the powerful and enigmatic qualities found amongst the ancient stone ruins, artwork, and natural beauty from some of the New World’s most sacred and impressive archaeological sites.
Pre~Columbia can serve as a scene-setting prelude for Mágico, or consider pairing it with another piece exploring the New World.
