Description: Discusses a highly-developed culture that existed in Costa Rica when classical civilization flourished in Europe. Reveals that since Costa Rica was on the trade route between the Northern and Southern hemispheres, cross-cultural influence is evident in the gold, jade and eramic artifacts shown, as well as in the monumental stone sculpture viewed.
