Description

Welcome to this course on the Totonacas and the Flyers of Papantla. The Totonacas are a culture that flourished in Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. Though they were a large and prosperous culture for hundreds of years, very little is known about their origins and early history. In this course we will explore, visit and study the Totonaca people and the impressive cities, civic and religious centers they developed. Everything in this course is first hand knowledge conveyed directly to you. In addition, the sources used for references are the original ancient codices and the writings of the first European explorers to this region. Enjoy discovering the wonderful, forgotten culture of the Totonakú!. I teach lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius
