SYNOPSIS:-Pre-Columbian Art by Esther Pasztory explores the rich and distinct cultural traditions of Mesoamerica and the Andes, placing the Aztec and Inca civilizations in their historical and social contexts.When, in the sixteenth century, the Spanish conquistadors defeated the Aztec empire in Mexico and the Inca empire in Peru, their dreams of finding treasure in the New World were amply fulfilled. What they also found was that the Aztecs and the Incas were the latest in a long line of highly civilized peoples to have occupied Mesoamerica and the Andes.
