Résumé
Perched high above the fertile valleys of Oaxaca, Monte Albán rose as one of the first great cities of the ancient Americas. Carved from the very bones of a mountain, it was more than a settlement-it was a declaration of power, a sacred stage where the Zapotecs bound earth, sky, and society into a single vision of civilization. This book brings to life the extraordinary story of Monte Albán: its bold foundation around 500 BCE, the audacious decision to build a capital atop a windswept ridge, and its transformation into a sacred and political center that endured for over a thousand years.
Through vivid narratives of sacred geography, monumental architecture, warfare, and ritual, it reveals how the Zapotecs shaped their world, inscribing authority into stone and aligning their city with the heavens. From the enigmatic Danzantes carvings to the grandeur of the Grand Plaza, from ancestral tombs to far-reaching trade networks, Monte Albán emerges here as both fortress and temple, capital and cosmos.
This sweeping account situates the city within the broader tapestry of Mesoamerican civilization, comparing it to Teotihuacan, the Maya, and the Aztec world, while highlighting its unique role as the enduring heart of Zapotec identity. A story of vision, resilience, and sacred ambition, this book invites readers to step onto the mountaintop and enter a city that once commanded valleys, people, and time itself-Monte Albán, the sacred capital of the Zapotecs.
