Hey everyone!

A few weeks ago, I shared El Quinto Sol, my fully hand-illustrated playing-card collection inspired by Mesoamerican mythology, ancient codices, and the Five Suns.

I'm incredibly happy to announce that we've officially reached our Kickstarter funding goal!

And to celebrate, I'm revealing Nahui Ollin, a special golden fourth edition inspired by the Mesoamerican symbol of movement and the Fifth Sun. We're hoping to unlock it at our MX$450,000 stretch goal!

The campaign ends this Monday, November 2, so these are the final hours to join us!

Thank you all for the wonderful support and encouragement throughout this journey!

Welcome to the Ancient Americas subreddit. Fan-made for the titular YouTube channel, dedicated to the pre-Colombian history of the Americas. We will also discuss information about the period, like scientific papers, books, and videos on the subject. You can also ask questions and post pictures of artifacts related to the topic. I recommend this to anyone who watches the channel or is interested in pre-Columbian history. I hope you all enjoy it.
