EDITORS COMMENTS
El Tajín Chico," or "Little Tajín," is a captivating archaeological site located in the tropical lowlands of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. This photograph showcases Building 1, a significant structure within the complex, adorned with intricate Totonacan art. The Tajín archaeological site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is renowned for its impressive Pre-Columbian architecture and sculptures. Dating back to the Pre-Classic and Post-Classic periods (around 900-1519 AD), this site was once a major political, economic, and cultural center for the Totonac people. El Tajín Chico, a smaller version of the more famous El Tajín archaeological site, is located about 15 kilometers away from its larger counterpart. Despite its smaller size, it boasts impressive architectural and artistic achievements, such as the intricately decorated Building 1. The Totonacan art depicted on the walls of Building 1 showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Totonac people. The intricate carvings and designs represent various deities and mythological creatures, reflecting the deep spiritual beliefs of the ancient civilization. The geographical location of El Tajín Chico, nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and the tropical rainforest, adds to its allure. The lush vegetation and warm climate create a breathtaking backdrop for this historical site, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in American history, geography, or archaeology. Ignacio Mejico's photograph captures the essence of El Tajín Chico, inviting us to explore the mysteries of this ancient civilization and appreciate the beauty and complexity of its artistic and architectural achievements.
