Context of Mezoamerika

Mezoamerika je zgodovinska regija, ki se razprostira od današnje centralne Mehike, Belizeja, Gvatemale, Salvadorja, Hondurasa in Nikaragve do današnje severovzhodne Kostarike. V tej regiji se je v obdobju od 3000 let pred odkritjem Amerike razvil niz medsebojno povezanih kultur in civilizacij.

Vsem tem kulturam in civilizacijam je skupno poljedelstvo na osnovi vzgoje koruze in drugih rastlin in pričetek stalne naselitve (gradnja naselbin, mest), za obutev so imeli sandale, njihova vera je bila politeistična, njena osnova pa sta bila bog sonca in dežja (Tlaloc azteški bog dežja), poznali so numerični sistem na osnovi števila 20, gradili so piramide in ritualne igre z žogo.

Te civilizacije so bile Nahua (Azteki, Tolteki in Tlaxcalteci), Boruca, Chichimecs Huaxtecs, Huichol, Maji (Lacandon), Mayangna, Mazatec, Mixe, Misteki, Olmeki, Otomi, Purepecha, Totonac in Zapoteki.
