I went to the Museo Nacional de Antropologia today. Learned a lot about classic cultures of the region and I think it is a good starting point for exploring pyramids in the next weeks. But it also reminded me that in school the only ancient history we study in Europe is that of Mesopotamia, some Egyptian, Greek and the Roman Empire. Almost as if the rest of the world was insignificant, which it is not.
Can fully recommend the museum if you are in #CiudadDeMexico

@zornem so true, our history lessons in school had been a bit slanted… currently enjoying new insights with ***Josephine Quinn, How the world made the West***. Makes for a nice reading on trips, too 😊
