This monumental shrine dedicated to the Aztec war and rain gods had been buried beneath the city’s main plaza since the sixteenth-century Spanish conquest. Facing a project of great historical significance with demanding scientific challenges, Mexico appointed archaeologist <a href="https://mmarp.com/about-us/eduardo-matos-moctezuma/" rel="nofollow" style="color:#88653f">Eduardo Matos Moctezuma</a>to lead the multiyear, multidisciplinary project that ultimately unearthed the Great Temple and its treasures. Matos Moctezuma will discuss the professional and personal transformations that he and his team experienced as they unearthed and interpreted the heart of the Aztec world.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin:0px0px1.125em">	<span><span style="line-height:22.399999618530273px"><span style="color:#333333"><span style="serif">Prior to the lecture, from 5 until 6 pm, program attendees are invited to visit <em><a href="https://www.peabody.harvard.edu/node/2443" rel="nofollow" style="color:#88653f">Ocarinas of the Americas</a>, </em>an exhibit at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. </span></span></span></span><br><span><span style="line-height:22.399999618530273px"><span style="color:#333333"><span style="serif"><em>Lecture to be delivered in Spanish, with English translation</em><br>Free and open to the public.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin:0px0px1.125em">	<span><span style="line-height:22.399999618530273px"><span style="color:#333333"><span style="serif">Free event parking at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/52%20Oxford%20St.%20Garage/@42.3801916,-71.1178896,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e37740b7278721:0xc4afb229b3ca67be!8m2!3d42.3801916!4d-71.1157009?hl=en" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration:none;color:#823923;outline:0px">52 Oxford Street Garage</a>.<br>Presented in collaboration with <a href="https://mmarp.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color:#88653f">the Moses Mesoamerican Archive</a>, <a href="https://hds.harvard.edu/" rel="nofollow" style="color:#88653f">Harvard Divinity School,</a> <a href="https://www.peabody.harvard.edu/" rel="nofollow" style="color:#88653f">and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology &amp; Ethnology, Harvard University. </a></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin:0px0px1.125em">	<span><span style="line-height:22.399999618530273px"><span style="color:#333333"><span style="serif">This event will be livestreamed on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/harvardmuseumsofscienceandculture" rel="nofollow" style="color:#88653f">Harvard Museums of Science &amp; Culture Facebook page</a>. </span></span></span></span></p><p>	Photo courtesy George Yepes.</p><h3>	SPANISH</h3><p style="margin:0.83em0px;line-height:1em;color:#97191d;Web',sans-serif;-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased">	<span style="color:#000000;">Eduardo Matos Moctezuma se descubre a sí mismo: Excavaciones del Templo Mayor de los aztecas</span></p><p style="margin:0px0px1.125em">	<span><span style="line-height:22.399999618530273px"><span style="color:#333333"><span style="serif"><strong>Eduardo Matos Moctezuma</strong>, Profesor Investigador Emérito, Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia, México</span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin:0px0px1.125em">	<span><span style="line-height:22.399999618530273px"><span style="color:#333333"><span style="serif">El descubrimiento en 1978 del Templo Mayor de los aztecas en el centro de la ciudad de México fascinó al mundo arqueológico internacional.
