Cave, city and nest of eagle is the culmination of an international research project and series of meetings organized by the Moses Mesoamerican Archive and centered on the pictorial manuscripts of the sixteenth century called the Map of Cuauhtinchan num. 2. Painted on amate paper that measures 109 x 204 centimeters, this extraordinary document contains more than seven hundred images and symbols that tell the story of the emergence of the ancestors in Chicomoztoc, their migration to the sacred city of Cholula, its foundation and settlement of Cuauhtincha, the history of its people and its claims on the surrounding landscape, and many other events along the way. Dating roughly from the 1540s, barely decades after the fall of the Aztecs, the map has recently undergone extensive physical analysis, conservation treatment and a systematic photographic record. Many of the resulting images accompany the fifteen profusely illustrated essays that examine the meanings and uses of the document, its complex narrative and the social and ritual memory of an indigenous people, struggling to survive in the turbulent environment of early colonial Mexico
