At the beginning of 1932, a trumpet made out of a sea snail and the Zapotec exclamation ¡guelaguetza! – meaning offering, gift– announced to Alfonso Caso and the entire world the finding of the most extraordinary treasure in the history of Mexican archaeology in Monte Albán, Oaxaca.

This application for telephones and tablets is complementary to a digital representation of Tomb 7, made accordingly to Caso’s archaeological registers and is an interactive support of the permanent hall “Tomb 7. The Chamber of Ancestors”, at the Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca.

The app presents eight of the most iconic pieces as part of this extraordinary treasure which you may admire in 360 degree images, along with brief audios that will show you some stories and anecdotes enclosed in these exquisite master pieces of ancient Mexican cultural heritage. You will be able to access them through Augmented Reality markers.

If you are not in the museum, you can download a PDF file containing the markers from a link shown in the app. That way you may enjoy it from wherever you might be.
