The National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City houses a remarkable mosaic skull adorned with turquoise, carnelian, and seashells. This artifact exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of Aztec artisans and underscores the cultural significance of turquoise in Mesoamerican societies. In Aztec culture, turquoise was highly esteemed, often valued above gold. Its vibrant blue-green hue was considered sacred, symbolizing the divine. Artisans skillfully incorporated turquoise into various ceremonial objects, including masks, shields, and jewelry, reflecting its esteemed status. The mosaic skull serves as a testament to the Aztecs' artistic sophistication and their reverence for turquoise, offering insight into the spiritual and cultural practices of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations.

Revealed: Shell oil non-profit donated to anti-climate groups behind Project 2025
Foundation says it ‘does not endorse any organizations’ while funneling hundreds of thousands to rightwing causes A US foundation associated with the oil company Shell has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to religious right and conservative organizations, many of which deny that climate change is a crisis, tax records reveal. Fourteen of those groups are on the advisory board of Project 2025, a conservative blueprint proposing radical changes to the federal government, including severely limiting the Environment Protection Agency.

Mask
turquoise, shell, obsidian inlay over stone
c. 300-550 CE
Teotihuacan culture
Mexico

This piece was found inside a cave in the state of Guerrero by unsuspecting explorers. The highly standardized mask is typical of Teotihuacan style: hundreds like it have been found, although few are as well preserved. Some scholars have suggested these masks may have been used as faces on mortuary bundles. Teotihuacan was a major, influential pre-Columbian city and civilization in the Mexican Plateau (ca. 100 BCE–650 CE), functioning as a massive, multi-ethnic metropolis with 125,000–200,000 residents at its peak. Renowned for monumental architecture, including the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, it served as a spiritual and economic hub known for its massive obsidian monopoly. The name "Teotihuacan" is Nahuatl, meaning "the place where the gods were created," given by the Aztecs centuries after its abandonment. The original inhabitants' language and ethnicity remain unknown, though likely included Nahua, Otomi, or Totonac groups. Teotihuacan exerted significant influence across Mesoamerica, with its art, architectural styles (such as talud-tablero), and religious symbols found in Maya and Zapotec regions. The culture is characterized by impressive mural paintings, sophisticated ceramics, stone masks, and large-scale, orderly urban planning. The city’s core was burned and largely abandoned around 550–650 CE. The ruins remained a powerful sacred site for later cultures, particularly the Aztecs, who traveled there for ritual ceremonies.
