Long ago, before the Spanish arrived, great civilizations lived in Mexico and Central America. The Maya, Aztecs, and Olmec built amazing things.
They left behind buildings, sculptures, and many objects. They also left many mysteries.
Think about being an archaeologist – someone who digs up old things to study human history. Just think what you could find in Mexico! Maybe you’d find a Maya poison pot. Or an ancient Aztec mask. Or a giant Olmec stone head. These items might help solve mysteries from the past. Like why did the Maya disappear? What happened to the Olmec people? Were there really Seven Cities of Gold that Spanish explorers wanted to find?
