So while Tino and I were visiting Mexico City, we decided to spend a  whole day in the Museo Nacional de Antropología, which is probably the most visited museum in Mexico. It contains artifacts from all the Pre-Columbian civilizations in Mexico. There are lots of them! Here is a short list with the most important ones:

  • Aztec, 1325–1521 CE, central Mexico
  • Huastec, 1000 BCE–1500 CE, Hidalgo, Veracruz, San Luis Potosí and Tamaulipas
  • Mixtec, unknown–1600 CE, western Oaxaca
  • Maya, 500 BCE–900 CE, Southern Mexican states of Chiapas and Tabasco, Mexican Yucatán Peninsula states of Quintana Roo, Campeche, and Yucatán; Guatemala; Belize; El Salvador; western Honduras
  • Olmec, 1200–400 BCE, Veracruz and Tabasco
  • P'urhépecha or Tarascan state, 1300–1530 CE, Michoacán
  • Teotihuacán, 200 BCE–800 CE, near Mexico City
  • Tlaxcaltec,  1290-?, Central Mexico
  • Toltec, 900–1100 CE
  • Totonac, unknown–1500 CE, eastern Mexico
  • Zapotec, 500 BCE–1500 CE, Oaxaca
 It is definitely worth the visit!
