    Summary: 
    These 48 half-hour lectures cover two great cultures: the Maya and the Aztec. Mesoamerica encompases all of Mexico and stretches down as far as partway into Honduras. Mesoamerica shared use of plants, a commonly held calendar, a pattern of organizing themselves into city-states, ancestor worship, and the infamous penchant for human sacrifice. Today, 500 years later, only fragments of the once-vibrant cultural traditions remain.
