The TOLTEC Burnt Palace at Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico: Art and Architecture at the Archaeological Site

[@properburger7378]

Qué lugar más interesante... No puedo dejar de imaginarlo es su apogeo, con personas habitándolo, en un bullicio que ahora vive entre nuestra imaginación y memoria... Sabes en qué año aproximadamente se construyó? Saludos y felicidades por tu canal, mucha suerte para este 2024.

El sitio tiene varios fases arqueológicos, pero la construcción del districto mas bien cononcido comenzó alrededor de 850 DC.

Is the plaster stuff around the base modern, or were all these covered? Was it exposed brickwork, or enclosed pillars? The carvings are so intricate.

[@EyeoftheSerpent]

They look modern, a reconstruction of how the plaster would have covered the original pillars.

I wonder what the place looked like when the Tenochca started "acquiring" relics and artifacts from there in the 1300s/1400s.

[@EyeoftheSerpent]

I would imagine like a recently emptied metropolis

[@dezarey]

Wow. Amazing. Why is it called the Burnt Palace? And did those square columns hold a roof?

[@EyeoftheSerpent]

To answer both questions at once: Yes, they did support the palace's roof, which had apparently burnt down.

Is it okay for foreigners to learn Nahuatl if they really like to learn it and nahua culture?

[@EyeoftheSerpent]

Back when the Aztec Triple Alliance was in charge, they expected foreigners to learn Nahuatl language and, to some degree, culture. This channel is open to all visitors with open minds and sincere hearts.
