A good introduction to the Maya....,

This review is from: Maya: The Riddle and Rediscovery of a Lost Civilization; Third Revised Edition (Paperback)
Mr. Gallenkamp's short book provides a good, informative introduction into the history of the Maya. He has included a synopsis of each era, focusing on the Classic; and he gives helpful details about the transitions from one age to the next. He also has written some fascinating chapters about the stories of the churchmen, explorers, and archeologists who first dared define the Maya: Landa, Stephens, Thompson, Ruz, et. al. In my nascent studies of the Maya, this short history has given me enough knowledge and information to feel comfortable while challenging my imagination and curiousity to continue on my journey.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Loved this book, months after reading,

I borrowed this little paperback. I had little knowledge of the Maya. It was full of glyphs and info that was over my head. The book sticks with you. Loved the stories of the migrations. I read The book of the Hopi next, it was an amazing journey . I recommend this then the Frank Waters book of the Hopi afterwards.
