1. Welcome and Entrance
As you entered through the main gate, you may have noticed two square pillars on both sides of the road. These are replicas of lintels from Yaxchilán, an archaeological site in Chiapas that represents the height of the Mayan civilization.
In front of you stands a replica of the Sun Stone, or Aztec Calendar, which illustrates the Aztec perception of the universe. At its centre is Tonatiuh, the Sun God, surrounded by rings marking the days and months that guided the Aztecs in their rituals, harvests, and wars.
The original Sun Stone was discovered in 1790 in Mexico City and has been on display at the National Museum of Anthropology since 1964, and there’s another replica at the ANU, donated by the government of Mexico.
Now, please make your way inside the Embassy.
You’ll be greeted by two stone jaguars, symbols of bravery, courage, and power in Aztec culture. Animals and nature held deep meaning for Mexico’s Indigenous peoples, representing life, death, and the cosmos itself.
