Aztec calendar stone
The Aztec calendar stone, Sun Stone, or Stone of the Five Eras is a late post-classic Mexica sculpture saved in the National Anthropology Museum in Mexico City, and is perhaps the most famous work of Aztec sculpture.〔(National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, "Sun Stone" )〕 The stone is in diameter and thick, and it weighs about 24 tons.〔(The Aztec Sun Stone )〕 Shortly after the Spanish Conquest, the monolithic sculpture was buried in the Zócalo, or main square of Mexico City. It was rediscovered on December 17, 1790 during repairs on the Mexico City Cathedral.〔(Aztec Civilization )〕 Following its rediscovery, the Calendar Stone was mounted on an exterior wall of the Cathedral, where it remained until 1885.〔(Getty Museum, "Aztec Calendar Stone" )〕
== Physical description ==
The sculpted motifs that cover the surface of the stone refer to central components of the Mexica cosmogony.
