"In 1995 I got a phone call from this guy named Marty Matz, who said he had a copy of an unknown Aztec Codex that an old Mazatec brujo showed him back in 1961 . . . The Pyramid of Fire is a valuable artifact, and more so, because as Marty has been able to flesh it out, we can see and hear a prosaic ancient voice revealing insights into Aztec cosmology, medicine, metaphysics and spirituality."
