Man On The Rim - The Feathered Serpent
The Olmec, Toltec, Maya and Aztec cultures, with their huge pyramids and great cities on the dusty plains of Mexico and in the steaming jungles of the isthmus, represent the highest achievements of American Indian society. We see the striking skeletons of these complex communities. The Mayans simply vanished. Only the Aztecs maintained their bizarre, sun-struck existence until the outside world, in the form of the Spanish conquistadors, broke in upon them.
