A woman tourist points to the face of the Aztec sun god that is the center of this replica of a major Mexican archaeological discovery of a massive carving known as the Aztec calendar stone on display in La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur in Mexico, North America. Also called the Aztec sun stone, the original basalt disk was found in Mexico City in 1790. Hieroglyphics on the circular monolith relate the mythology of the re-creation of the Aztecan world in the 16th Century.
