The Zapotec civilization, an indigenous pre-Columbian culture that thrived in the Valley of Oaxaca in southern Mexico around 500 BC, left behind a rich legacy of art and literature. This artifact provides us with a glimpse into their vibrant world. The page is filled with colorful hieroglyphics, representing the unique language and writing system of the Zapotecs.
