Great Pyramid of Cholula Dedicated to Quetzalcoatl in Mexico: A Vibrant Depiction from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Ethnographic Lithographs The Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepetl, is a remarkable architectural wonder located in the Mexican state of Puebla. This ancient structure, the largest pyramid by volume in the world, is steeped in rich history and mythology, particularly associated with the pre-Columbian god Quetzalcoatl. This handcolored lithograph, part of Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, offers a vivid portrayal of the Great Pyramid of Cholula dedicated to Quetzalcoatl. The image showcases the pyramid's impressive size and intricate design, with its terraced levels adorned with various decorative elements. At the summit, Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent deity, is depicted in regal splendor, surrounded by attendants and offerings. Quetzalcoatl was a crucial figure in the religious beliefs of the ancient Mexicans, representing both creation and destruction. His symbolic association with the pyramid further emphasizes the spiritual significance of this architectural marvel. The lithograph not only captures the grandeur of the structure but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and mythology of the Mexican people. This ethnographic art piece, created circa 1835-1840, showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors characteristic of Goedsche's work. The lithograph is an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of anthropology, ethnography, history, and art, offering insights into the customs, costumes, and traditions of the past. This image continues to inspire awe and fascination, reminding us of the enduring allure of the ancient world and its rich cultural tapestry.
