El desastre de la documentación indígena durante la invasión-conquista española en Mesoamérica

Abstract

An analysis referring to the destruction, suppression, and plundering of the prehispanic indigenous documentation which was developed in Mesoamerica is presented. A disaster which as a consequence of the Spanish military-religious invasion-conquest, was cataclysmic for the wisdom of the men and women who created the Mesoamerican civilization. The disaster in relation to this ancient culture is understood in this paper: 1) The devastation and suppression of the documented indigenous culture, 2) the devastating habits of the apparatus of religious coercion, and 3) the historic extermination and the cultural theft of indigenous memory.
