Aztec sun stone
The Aztec Sun Stone is a big rock that the Aztecs (people from Mexico a very long time ago) made into a really cool artwork. It is also called "The Stone of the Fifth Sun" because it shows the history and beliefs of the Aztecs about the creation of the world and their calendar.
On the stone, you can see a big face in the middle, which is the face of the sun god. Around the face, there are four squares that represent the four previous eras or worlds that came before the present time, and they are surrounded by lots of different symbols and pictures.
The Aztecs used this stone as a calendar to tell time and also to celebrate important events and ceremonies. They believed that everything in nature was connected, and the Sun Stone helped them understand the different cycles of life.
But, the Sun Stone was lost for many years until some people found it hidden underground in the middle of Mexico City. Now you can see it in a museum, and it is still very important to remember the history and beliefs of the Aztec people.
