CyArk - Monte Albán
Rating
0.0 stars

500 BCE - 800 CE, Capital of the Zapotec Empire: Founded in 500 BCE and continuously inhabited for over twelve hundred years, Monte Albán was the ancient capital of the Zapotec culture and is one of the oldest-known urban cities in Mesoamerica. The civic core is centered around a plaza and most of the city's great monumental structures are built in its vicinity. It is estimated that approximately 30,000 people lived within a six-kilometer radius of this center during the city's peak in the 6th century CE. Sometime between 700 and 800 CE, the ruling Zapotec lineage at Monte Albán collapsed, construction halted, and the city fell into decline. Today, the site remains a source of great pride for the peoples of Oaxaca, particularly the Zapotec-speakers that still farm the fields on the valley floor below.

1964 CE, The 1964-65 New York World's Fair (NYWF), with over 51 million attendees, was the last of the ‘great' Fairs held in the United States. For the price of a $2.00 admissions ticket, a Fairgoer could glimpse into the nation's history, discover art from around the world, view advances in science and technology and peer into the future, all in one compact locale. Many of the technologies we enjoy today, or the foundations that made them possible, were showcased at the 1964-65 NYWF.

900 BCE - 146 BCE, The amphitheaters found around the Mediterranean are one of the most important legacies left from ancient civilizations. Their architecture, acoustics, and quality of structure give clue to their social importance and craftsmanship. As important as they were historically, they are equally as important now to the living legacy from tourists to local performers. However, it is also this continued interest that has become a contributing factor to the deterioration of these sites. ATHENA Project
