University College, Durham (Durham Castle) Crypt

from Cornell University Library

  • Matthew Moynihan said:
    This is not the crypt of Durham Castle. I lived there for four years! The castle's undercroft is supported by a row of keystoned arches down the middle, across which sit large oak beams. This may, however, be the undercroft of the Cathedral.

Archaeological Museum, Mexico City

from Cornell University Library

  • Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
    National Museum Monolite Parlor, located at the north wing of National Palace; entrance by Moneda Street. Today all monolites are located at Sala Mexica in Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia, across the street from Chapultepec.

Sacrificial Stone

from Cornell University Library

  • Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
    Telamacatl, del Nahuatl= rueda de piedra. LA PIEDRA DE TÍZOC REPRESENTA LAS VICTORIAS DEL EMPERADOR Y FIESTAS DEDICADAS AL DIOS DEL FUEGO. Era un CUAUHXICALLI, sobre ella se ejecutaba el sacrificio del ejercicio gladiatorio; la víctima, atada sobre la piedra, con armas de plumas, debía defenderse de cuatro que le atacaban con armas de pedernal. La superficide lateral tiene una secuencia de 15 escenas, cada una conformada por un guerrero sometiendo a una deidad que personifica al señorío particularizado con un glifo toponímico. La secuencia está limitada por dos bandas horizontales, una arriba y otra abajo, que figuran respectivamente un cielo nocturno y un reptil terrestre. En forma desconcertante y como seña distintiva, una concavidad central y un profundo canal dañan la labra de la escultura, rompiendo en forma radial el disco solar de la cara superior y una de las escenas de conquista de la cara lateral. Debe ser diferenciado de otro Cuauhxicall (LA PIEDRA DE MOCTEZUMA I) muy similar www.flickr.com/photos/53461717@N08/8350701575/in/photolis...
