These figures represent Ehécatl (a representation of Quetzalcoatl), who, with his breath gave movement to the sun and the moon and granted the gift of life. These served as load-bearing structural supports and were found at archaeological sites such as Calixtlahuaca and at the Templo Mayor in CDMX.

The pyramid with the largest base in the world is the Great Pyramid of Cholula, in Puebla. It is so massive that for centuries it was thought to be a natural mountain; the Spanish built even a church on top. Its base measures 450 meters on each side (four times larger than the Giza pyramid in Egypt)

This jade mask from Tikal in Guatemala is one of the most famous Mayan artifacts in the world. The mask probably belonged to a person not from a noble family, but who had achieved great honor during his life. It might be Kalomtee Bahlam, a renowned warrior who served as tutor to the Lady of Tikal.

If you love “William” the 🦛 hippo, then you already enjoy ancient Egyptian faience. This video from the V&A is a great overview of how to make faience amulets with Zahed Taj-Eddin. The use of Manganese Dioxide (for the blackish colorant) on the eyes is also quite cool.
