El Tajín: Great Center of the Northeast
|
The largest and most important city in the area of Veracruz, El Tajín flourished between 600-1000 AD as a center for religion, art, architecture, and engineering. The art of El Tajín is closely connected to rituals of the ballgame (juego de pelota), a brutal, bloody athletic ceremony which was performed for at least 2,000 years in every corner of Mesoamerica. |
