Nor does his work end with the study
of Aztec culture To the student world
the word Aztec suggests more than
the names of other ancients Of this
hemisphere. The Aztec was but one Of
many nations which inhabited Mexico

We're the most highly cultured. The
Taraskan nation excelled them as
workers in iron, and the ChiptaS, Pitas,
OaXacaS and Zapotecans were quite
their intellectual equals. The Maya ma
ton was far greater in many ways. The
great stone cities, the ruins of which
are to be found in Yucatan and Mex
leo, we're the work of their hands, and
it is in the study Of the ruins Of the
ancient Mayas on the Usamacinta river
