The Toltecs (or Toltec or Tolteca) were a Pre-Columbian Native American people who dominated much of central Mexico between the 10th and 12th century AD. Their language, Nahuatl, was also spoken by the Aztecs.

They originated as a militaristic nomadic people, and they or their ancestors may have sacked the city of Teotihuacan (ca. 750). After they established a more settled existence, the Toltec fused the many small states in Central Mexico into an empire ruled from their capital, Tula (also known as Tollan, or Tolán). They were accomplished temple builders. Their influence spread through much of Mesoamerica in the Post-Classic era of Mesoamerican chronology. The Toltec influence on the Post-Classic Maya of Yucatán is heavy, especially evident at the city of Chichen Itza. Their pottery has been found as far south as Costa Rica.

Some writers have maintained that the cult of Quetzalcoatl, the 'plumed serpent', was initiated by the Toltec. However, this deity was commonly depicted throughout Mesoamerica centuries earlier, with the earliest-known depictions of a feathered serpent deity dating from the Formative-era Olmec in the 1st millennium BCE.For example, La Venta Monument 19 shows a snake-figure crested with feathers and with an avian beak, next to two quetzal birds either side of a glyph representing a sky band, postulated to be a reference to "quetzal sky" or "quetzal snake". Representations of Quetzalcoatl are also known from Teotihuacan, ca. 3rd century CE. See Miller and Taube (1993:141).

Adventure Gamers Review - By Tony Lacey [2 1/2 of 5] This is a great game for first time adventure gamers; puzzles range from the easy (pick up a screw, place it in a hole needing a screw) to the moderate in challenge, but they're far from difficult.
