Monte Albán
Patrimoniu universal UNESCO
Monte Albán (muntele alb) este orasul cel mai
reprezentativ pentru civilizatia zapoteca si îsi
datoreaza numele florilor albe ale unor copaci
care cresc aici. Zapotecii au nivelat muntele si
au creat o spectaculoasa piata de 300 x 200 m
înconjurata de platforme cu scari ample, piramide
si temple. La început (500 î. C) era un centru
civic si religios care s-a tot marit pâna a
ocupat 6,5 km² cu piete, palate si morminte
pentru demnitari iar alte câteva platforme au
fost construite pentru locuintele populatiei.
Monte Albán is a large archaeological site
located near the city of Oaxaca in southern
Mexico. It was the capital of the Zapotec
civilization from around 500 BC to 800 AD. The
site is located on a flattened mountaintop offerin
g sweeping views of the surrounding valley. In
1987, Monte Albán was added to the list of UNESCO
World Heritage Sites, along with the colonial
city of Oaxaca. The Zapotec civilization made
several important advances in astronomy, writing,
and possibly in medicine.
