Today Chris talks to the editors of a fascinating new book about animals and their representation and symbolism in ancient Mesoamerica. We talk about things like frogs that soak in water through their bellies and animals wearing clothes…and what that means! Ancient people in this area were very connected to their surroundings and observed everything with amazing clarity.
