veche scara din Mexicul precolumbian. Zapotecii

Alfonso Caso (1896 - 1970) His writing on the
Zapotecs, based on his work at Monte Albán,
proposed that they established hegemony over
neighbouring peoples - a theory which was widely
criticised at the time, but which was validated
by the studies of others after Caso's death

In 1987, Monte Albán was added to the list
of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, along with the
colonial city of Oaxaca

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 palate, curti, si morminte pentru demnitari
iar alte câteva platforme au fost construite
pentru locuintele populatiei.
