  12. Analysis of LiDAR-generated data suggests that the Zapotec site of Guiengola in Mexico was indeed a fortified city, the research mapped the size and layout of the structures and inferred their use based on artefacts associated with them (McGill University). #archaeology #science #lidar #zapotec mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/ne

    "There is a word in #Zapotec that we use to name the fact of someone or something disappearing, when a close friend is not close anymore, when someone stops visiting as often as they do, when things transform and change or when someone is getting blind, that is KANITLOW which means 'Faces are getting lost ' or 'disappearing'"

    "Kanitlow, I am losing your face". Those were the words of Mexican Photographer Luvia Lazo's great grandfather, who was losing his eyesight ... Words that inspired her Photo Series. These photographs serve as a record of her community, the indigenous Zapotec People and their culture which fades with the passage of time

  16. For more than 3000 years, the Mesoamerican culture area was witness to the rise (and fall) of more than eight great civilizations: Olmec, Maya, “Totonac," Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Mixtec, Toltec, and Aztec. The "Golden Age," or Classic Period, of these civilizations occurred between AD 150 and AD 900, but our interest here, will extend back in time to the very earliest Mesoamerican cultures, as well. #Mesoamerica #Olmec #Maya #Totonac #Teotihuacan #Zapotec #Mixtec #Toltec #Aztec
