EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the renowned statue of Chac-Mool, discovered at the ancient site of Chichen-Itza in Yucatan. Crafted by an unknown artist from the European School during the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history and ethnography surrounding this remarkable artifact. The so-called statue of Chac-Mool is depicted here with meticulous detail and precision, capturing its enigmatic beauty. This illustration was originally featured in Friedrich Ratzel's seminal work, "The History of Mankind" published by Macmillan in 1896. Chichen-Itza, known for its architectural marvels and cultural significance, holds a special place in Mayan civilization. The presence of this intriguing statue adds to its allure and mystique. The Chac-Mool figure represents a reclining human-like deity holding a ceremonial vessel on their stomach—a symbol often associated with rain rituals or offerings to appease gods. Through this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness not only the physicality but also the historical importance of this extraordinary sculpture. Its intricate carvings and symbolic meaning provide valuable insights into Mayan culture and beliefs. As we delve deeper into our understanding of ethnography and history through art like this print, we gain a greater appreciation for humanity's diverse heritage and how it continues to shape our world today.
