Abstract

The territory that stretches from central Mexico to Central America is known as Mesoamerica. Such was the location of great civilizations like the Olmec, Mayan, Teotihuacan and Toltec. The Aztecs, one of the Nahua tribes that populated the plateau till its conquest by Hernán Cortes in 1521, were the lasts to establish there. Anthropologists have studied their thoughts and beliefs; however, few people have compared the wisdom of the peoples of Mesoamerica with the ancient philosophies of Asia. Our conclusion is that some concepts bear remarkable similarities.
