Discover the remarkable history of the Toltecs...

The Toltecs are one of the most mysterious and little understood of all the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. This culture was venerated by later civilizations such as the Aztecs, and even today, “Toltec knowledge” is used as a kind of shorthand for arcane wisdom from an ancient culture. However, discussing the actual history of the Toltecs is extremely difficult. Much of what we know of these people comes from writings and oral traditions of the Aztecs, as translated and interpreted by European invaders. This Aztec history is so mingled with myth and legend that it is very difficult to discern what may be historical fact.

In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, most historians seemed to accept that the Toltecs were a distinct and warlike culture centered around the Valley of Mexico who conquered large parts of Mesoamerica. More recently, there has been debate about whether the Toltecs really were a separate culture at all or whether this term should be taken to represent a set of shared ideas and beliefs which permeated several cultures in Mesoamerica around the end of the first millennium. Even now, much of the information about the Toltecs is vague, contradictory, and subject to debate.

This is the mysterious, baffling, and ever-changing story of the Toltecs.

Discover a plethora of topics such as
  • Origins of the Toltecs
  • The Place of the Reeds
  • Toltec Society and the Cult of Quetzalcoatl
  • The Toltecs and the Maya
  • Decline and Fall
  • And much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a mystery the Toltec's are

I have been a follower of Ruiz's Four Agreements for years. A visit to Teotihuacan many years ago solidified my fascination with the Toltec. This book has completely blown my mind, but I accept the scholarship of this book and will forever wonder about what is real. Thank you for your insight.

4.0 out of 5 stars An insightful historical perspective
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020

This is an interesting perspective of the Toltec culture and it's relationship with the Aztecs and Mayan culture. It is often difficult to differentiate between historical fact and fiction. This book suggests several alternative views as to the origins and disbursement of these early cultures of Mexico, central America and Mesoamerica. An interesting read.

Like all Hourly History books, this was a short read. The Toltecs are shrouded in mystery, even today, and the book did a good job of presenting different theories about what we do know. It also raises lots of questions, most of which we don't yet have answers for.

Interesting. It shows how little is actually known about this group, one of the earliest civilizations in MesoAmerica.

I like these 1 hour history books because they give you just enough to get an overall understanding of a slice of history. From there you can decide if you want to dig deeper.

As a elementary school student I had to do research on the Aztecs, and I was aware of the Mesoamerican cultures of the Incas and Mayans, and learned on my own about the Olmecs (sp?) But never the Toltecs.

I liked this short history because I have traveled to some of the locations and archeological sites mentioned. When it comes to the Toltecs mystery is the key word . Good for tourists when you go to Mexico and get out of the resorts.

Una lettura breve, facile per tutti, che tratta con buona sintesi un argomento molto affascinante e introduce alla conoscenza di una civiltà ancora avvolta nel mistero come in generale sono per molti aspetti le antiche culture dell'America Centrale.
