EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "A wall of human skulls, Templo Mayor, Tenochtitlan" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Tenochtitlan. The image showcases a chilling sight - a towering wall adorned with countless human skulls. This macabre display was known as a tzompantli and served as a testament to the Aztec civilization's deep-rooted rituals and practices. The Templo Mayor, the main temple in Tenochtitlan, stood witness to numerous sacrificial ceremonies conducted by the Aztecs. These rituals were an integral part of their religious beliefs and symbolized their connection with both life and death. The sheer magnitude of this skull-filled structure is awe-inspiring yet hauntingly beautiful. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing engraving, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that existed within Mesoamerica. It serves as a stark reminder of humanity's complex relationship with mortality throughout history. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Jakob van der Schley, whose attention to detail brings every intricacy of the scene to life. Preserved by Mexico's Biblioteca Nacional de Mexico, this print allows us to delve into one aspect of Aztec architecture that continues to captivate scholars and art enthusiasts alike. Let this thought-provoking image transport you back in time and immerse you in the mystique surrounding ancient civilizations while contemplating our own understanding of life and death.
