Abstract
The article analyzes the pre-Hispanic past of the Huastecs (the Maya group, is its early offshoot). For centuries, they developed in the Gulf of Mexico region in isolation from the classical and Yucatan Maya, whom Yu.V.Knorozov studied. The study of the pre-Hispanic past of the Huastecs is conducted on the basis of modern archaeological data. The article emphasizes that the peculiarity of the Huasteca culture was influenced by their lack of a single territory, as well as the development of the Olmec, Teotihuacan, Totonac, Toltec, Otomi, and Aztec cultures here at different historical times. It is established that the main features of the Huastec culture were formed by the 8th century. The Maya people demonstrate the greatest originality and uniqueness of the pre-Hispanic period of history in sculpture and ceramics.
