EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, depicts a monumental archaeological discovery and the incredible efforts of workers in transporting the massive stone sculpture, known as the Goddess of Water, from its ancient resting place in Mexico. The Goddess of Water, also referred to as the Chalchiuhtlicue Statue, is a pre-Columbian sculpture representing the Aztec goddess of water, fertility, and childbirth. The image captures the awe-inspiring scene of the laborious process of moving this colossal relic, estimated to weigh several tons, using ropes, pulleys, and human effort. The intricate carvings and detailed craftsmanship of the statue are evident, showcasing the advanced knowledge and skill of the ancient civilization that created it. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Mexico, providing a glimpse into the past and the fascinating world of Mesoamerican archaeology.

This photograph, with its historical significance and visual appeal, is an essential addition to any collection focused on archaeology, history, or Mexican culture.
