The Aztec Calendar Stone and La Piedra del Sol reflect the astronomy and mythology of the Aztecs. It was laid upon the platform of the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlán before the shrines to Huitzilopochtli, and Tlaloc. Upon the stone, the Aztecs offered thousands of human sacrifices. The four rectangles of the stone represent four previous epochs, each with its own sun which the Aztecs believed were destroyed by jaguars, hurricanes, floods, and volcanoes. At the center of the calendar is the sun Tonatiuh, which they believed presided over the fifth and current epoch. They feared that earthquakes would destroy him, obliterating the universe for all time, if they displeased him. In each eagle claw he clutches a human heart, meant to feed him as he travels across the sky each day.

Time has fascinated humans for thousands of years. We have struggled to find ways to keep track of time and predict patterns in nature. Ancient people watched the skies to study nature's cycles and mark them in time. From these, calendars were born. Though we may not be aware of it, we live by the time we keep. Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, this book builds students' literacy skills while fostering curiosity, creativity, and innovation. The hands-on STEAM challenge is ideal for makerspace activities, and guides students through every stage of the engineering design process. This book features: Real-world examples provide insight into how the engineering design process is used to solve real-world problems; Content that highlights every component of STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art, and math; Career advice from Smithsonian employees working in STEAM fields; Dynamic images and text features enhance the reading experience and build visual literacy. This 6-Pack includes six copies of this title and a lesson plan that specifically supports guided reading instruction.

Analyzed by scholars, deployed by Mexican nationalists, beloved by the public, and reproduced in every medium and scale since its rediscovery in 1790, the Aztec Calendar Stone, or Piedra del Sol, has become the most recognizable Pre-Columbian monument. Commissioned by the Mexican emperor Motecuhzoma I in the last decades before the Spanish invasion of the New World and buried by the conquerors not long afterward, the Aztec Calendar Stone has had a far-reaching afterlife in the modern world. The Aztec Calendar Stone includes an extended scholarly introduction and a selection of twenty-one key sources dating from 1581 to the present on this massive and puzzling sculpture--including works by Antonio de Leon y Gama, Alfredo Chavero, Eduard Seler, Hermann Beyer, Carlos Navarrete and Doris Heyden, Cecelia Klein, H. B. Nicholson, Felipe Solis, Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, and others--many published here for the first time in English.
