| Summary | "Ancient Civilizations of Mexico and Central America" by Herbert Joseph Spinden is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America, offering detailed insights into their arts, beliefs, and social structures, with a special focus on the timeline of pre-Columbian civilizations. It delves into archaeological findings and the contributions of various scientific disciplines to understand these ancient societies. At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of ancient civilizations in the region and states the challenges of defining geographical boundaries between Mexico and Central America. The opening portion sets the stage for an extensive examination of the diverse environments that influenced these cultures, highlighting the geographic features and climatic influences integral to their development. It emphasizes how, despite the differences across regions, there is a rich tapestry of cultural practices and historical narratives shaped by geography and European contact. The preface and introduction together create a comprehensive framework for understanding the significance and complexity of ancient Mexican and Central American civilizations as the book progresses.
