"Treasures of the Great Temple" explores various facets of the Aztec civilization, particularly focusing on the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan. Key themes and topics within the book include:

- **Aztec Archaeology**: The book delves into the archaeological discoveries at the Great Temple, providing insights into excavation processes and findings 【1】【2】.
- **Aztec Art and Symbolism**: It showcases the statuary, furnishings, votive masks, and other artifacts, explaining their artistic and symbolic significance within the Aztec empire 【3】【4】.
- **Aztec History**: The historical context of the Aztec civilization, including the Spanish conquest in 1521 and the subsequent demolition of Tenochtitlan and its Great Temple, is explored 【5】【2】.
- **Religious Practices**: The book touches on the religious and ritualistic aspects of the Aztec culture, as evidenced by the artifacts and structures found at the temple 【6】【7】.
- **Prehistoric and Primitive Cultures**: It provides a broader understanding of prehistoric cultures and Native American traditions 【1】【8】.

Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, a leading expert in Aztec archaeology, directed the Templo Mayor Project from 1978 to 2001, excavating the Great Aztec Temple 【9】. His expertise provides a solid foundation for the book's exploration of these themes.

These themes can help you draw connections to other books in a library that cover similar topics in archaeology, Mesoamerican cultures, art history, and religious studies.
