| 520 | _a"The Ancient Cities of the New World" by Désiré Charnay is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book documents the author's travels and explorations in Mexico and Central America from 1857 to 1882, providing insights into ancient American civilizations, particularly highlighting the Toltecs. It aims to reconstruct the ancient cultures based on archaeological observations, historical accounts, and Charnay's direct experiences in the region. At the start of the work, the author reflects on his previous expedition to Mexico and the challenges he faced due to inexperience and limited resources. Now better prepared and funded through a partnership with a wealthy American patron, Charnay sets off to explore the region once again. He vividly describes Vera Cruz's landscape and climate, recounting his anticipation of revisiting familiar places after many years. As he arrives, he notes both the changes that time has wrought as well as the contrasts between his past experiences and the vibrant, evolving Mexican society he finds, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the ancient cities and their legacies.
