中部美洲
(重定向自中美洲文明)
中部美洲,又译美索美洲(英语:Mesoamerica),是一个历史上的地区和文化区,地理上位于北美洲。覆盖区域自中部墨西哥延伸经过伯利兹、危地马拉、萨尔瓦多、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜,一直到哥斯达黎加北部。 中部美洲文明指的是西班牙殖民前(又称前哥伦布时期)的这段文明[1][2]。 中部美洲是世界六大古代文明地区之一,同时也是美洲文明之一(另一为小北文明,位于今秘鲁)。基本上“中美洲”一词主要为地理上的概念,而“中部美洲”则以文化历史上的分界而言,比“中美洲”涵盖的范围更大。
中部美洲文明共有的特色包括:这些文明的雕刻上常可发现三石壁炉图腾概念(暗示了他们的居家环境);某种凉鞋的穿着;以及以玉米为主的集约农业;他们崇拜的神话系统都包括一个雨神、一个太阳神、一个羽蛇神(亦即阿兹特克人的克察尔科亚特尔);科技包括一套二十进制的数字系统,以及每年260日为周期的神历和另一套太阳历(见:中美洲历法);在建筑方面,这些印地安人建筑了阶梯延伸至顶端的金字塔;在娱乐方面,他们发展出具有宗教意义的球赛(见:中美洲蹴球);除这些以外,还有各式各样的艺术及文化传统。
中部美洲同时也是人类语言学上的一个标准范例:所有主要的中美洲语言都表现出某个共同特征集合的部分特色。中部美洲的经济及地理政治都受惠自通用语的大量使用,也就是纳瓦特尔语至少从7世纪开始的广泛使用;这样的发展可能还可向前推2,000年。
