The Legend of the Aztec Sun Stone
Discovered in 1790 beneath Mexico City’s central plaza, the Aztec Sun Stone—carved from basalt and weighing over 24 tons—remains one of the most iconic artifacts of the ancient world. This monumental carving, also known as the Calendar Stone, embodies the Aztecs’ deep astronomical knowledge and spiritual reverence for the sun god, Tonatiuh.
At its center lies Tonatiuh’s fierce visage, symbolizing life, sacrifice, and cosmic power. Surrounding rings depict the four prior eras (or “suns”) of creation and destruction, followed by glyphs representing the 20 days of the Aztec calendar—all intricately rendered in this copper round’s stunning design.
