The Cacaxtla Murals – Mexico, 7th-10th Century CE. Hidden within the ancient city of Cacaxtla, Mexico, lies one of Mesoamerica’s greatest artistic mysteries. Discovered in the 1970s, these vividly painted murals blend Maya and Teotihuacan influences, depicting fierce battles, celestial symbols, and cryptic religious scenes. Yet, despite their beauty, their meaning remains an enigma. Were they records of historic conflicts, cosmic struggles, or sacred rituals? Join us as we explore the mystery of the Cacaxtla Murals and the lost civilization that left them behind.
