Welcome to this course on the Totonacas and the Flyers of Papantla. The Totonacas are a culture that flourished in Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. Though they were a large and prosperous culture for hundreds of years, very little is known about their origins and early history. In this course we will explore, visit and study the Totonaca people and the impressive cities, civic and religious centers they developed. Everything in this course is first hand knowledge conveyed directly to you. In addition, the sources used for references are the original ancient codices and the writings of the first European explorers to this region. Enjoy discovering the wonderful, forgotten culture of the Totonakú!.
