Ancient Explorers and Their Amazing Maps

Abstract

thing useful in Terraciano’s presentation of the Codex Sierra. Historians of discovery and exploration will not find any explorers here, but some references to indigenous mapping and land practices, which are useful to recall. Terraciano’s main point that the colonial encounter between “conquerors” and the “conquered” was always a complicated dance of hybridization and accommodation is always rewarding to remember and exhibited well here.
