Book excerpt: The poems in Montejo's SCULPTED STONES give lyric expression to the feelings of exile and to the (sometimes comic) difficulties of living in a foreign culture. Throughout this book, Montejo extols the values of the Maya culture and denounces the Guatemalan government's attempts to destroy the Indian society. At times with tenderness, at times with humor, at times with scathing irony, Montejo examines nature, politics, and recorded history to get at the truths of the present and the past.

Download or read book Las piedras de Tiahuanaco written by Jean-Pierre Protzen and published by Fondo Editorial de la PUCP. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuando los europeos vieron por primera vez las estructuras monumentales de piedra en el extremo sur del lago Titicaca, en Bolivia, quedaron maravillados con la habilidad de quienes las produjeron. Estas construcciones han sido consideradas, con razón, la arquitectura de piedra más ingeniosa y hábil del mundo. Su precisión rivaliza con la de los incas hasta el punto de que desde los cronistas españoles del siglo XVI hasta los autores del siglo XX han afirmado que Tiahuanaco no solo sirvió a los incas como un modelo para la arquitectura y la mampostería de piedra sino que estos incluso importaron albañiles de la cuenca del Titicaca para construir sus edificios. Este cuidadoso estudio de Jean Pierre Protzen y Stella Nair, refuta esa idea y se adentra en cuestiones referentes a las técnicas de los picapedreros de Tiahuanaco, a la vez que se centra en su conocimiento de la geometría y en la extracción, corte y montaje de las piedras. Sin duda, los detallados análisis de las piedras de construcción permiten vislumbrar la arquitectura de Tiahuanaco, y la apariencia y las reglas que guiaron sus cánones de composición y producción.

Download or read book The Stones of Tiahuanaco written by Stella Nair and published by Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's most artful and skillful stone architecture is found at Tiahuanaco at the southern end of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. The precision of the stone masonry rivals that of the Incas to the point that writers from Spanish chroniclers of the sixteenth century to twentieth-century authors have claimed that Tiahuanaco not only served as a model for Inca architecture and stone masonry, but that the Incas even imported stonemasons from the Titicaca Basin to construct their buildings. Experiments aimed at replicating the astounding feats of the Tiahuanaco stonecutters--perfectly planar surfaces, perfect exterior and interior right angles, and precision to within 1 mm--throw light on the stonemasons' skill and knowledge, especially of geometry and mathematics. Detailed analyses of building stones yield insights into the architecture of Tiahuanaco, including its appearance, rules of composition, canons, and production, filling a significant gap in the understanding of Tiahuanaco's material culture.
