Gedemo Monte Alban City-State

Monte Alban

City-State Trait: Get 2 Random Free Technologies.

City-State Type: Scientific

History:
The oldest human traces recorded in this area date from 500 BC. The city reached its maximum urban and demographic development during this period. It is thought that there were nearly 40,000 inhabitants on an area of 20 km2. The main buildings developed into isolated nuclei and their essential function was the conduct of public or private religious ceremonies. The sides of the mountains were laid out with a large number of terraces with stone houses and common burials. During this stage, Monte Alban was the most important urban center of the valleys of Oaxaca and was the main axis of the activity of the region, with a rather important radiation. The enormous foundations were high temples, tiered platforms were built, residential palaces, elegant stone tombs, systems for control and water supply and structures for the ball game and perhaps buildings for astronomical observations. But little by little the Zapotec civilization loses its power. To the point that the city of Monte Alban is abandoned towards the middle of the seventh century after. For reasons still unclear (wars, invasions, famines, exhaustion of arable land, excessive deforestation, epidemics, massive emigration ...). Towards the twelfth century, by a curious reversal of history, the Mixtecs seized the abandoned town of Monte Alban, from which came part of their ancestors, to revive and celebrate new cults. They will remain there until the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century.
