Roots Of Knowledge Panel G1

A theme found in this window is the passage of history and how knowledge is transferred from one generation to the next. At left is the Sun Stone, an elaborate solar disk carved in the fifteenth or sixteenth century, and discovered in 1790 during repairs in Mexico City Plaza, once the site of the Aztec capital. The motifs in this stone connect to creation myths, cataclysmic predictions, and Mesoamerican calendar systems.
