Pre-Columbian America is a highly complex civilisation. Its founding myth suggests a system of opening drawers, whereby nine gods divide up thirteen heavens and organise time into several calendars which overlap. A flamboyant epoch, at all events, bursting with nobility, full of violence and majestic sophistication. Its craftsmanship astounds us. Albrecht Durer was not far wrong when talking of their "subtle genius".
