Purchase options and add-ons

The Maya are an indigenous people of Mexico and Central America who have continuously inhabited the lands comprising modern-day Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco, and Chiapas in Mexico and southward through Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras. The designation Maya comes from the ancient Yucatan city of Mayapan, the last capital of a Mayan Kingdom in the Post-Classic Period.

The Maya people refer to themselves by ethnicity and language bonds such as Quiche in the south or Yucatec in the north (though there are many others). The `Mysterious Maya’ have intrigued the world since their `discovery’ in the 1840's by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood but, in reality, much of the culture is not that mysterious when understood.

Contrary to popular imagination, the Maya did not vanish and the descendants of the people who built the great cities of Chichen Itza, Bonampak, Uxmal and Altun Ha still exist on the same lands their ancestors did and continue to practice, sometimes in a modified form, the same rituals which would be recognized by a native of the land one thousand years ago.

I visited the Mayan ruins when I was in Mexico. The book added to my knowledge.

Book gave a general overview of the Mayan civilization. It covers the architecture of the temples and cities. It goes in depth about their calendar system ether importance of time to the Mayans.
A segment is devoted to the subject of torture in their society and another of the importance of respect for the dead.

This book is really an article of little to no value. Basic information that usually people who are interested in this subject, already know.

Many people is aware of the mistery surrounding the ancient Majyan population. This informative book will clear a lot of confusion existing around this civilization. What is found very interesting was the chapter on astronomy and record keeping. This book is written to be to-the-point. No fillers used. Recommended

poor grammar, no research or proofreading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

I read 30% of this book and only continued to this point to see if it would improve. The grammar and errors are many. There is nothing informative in the book as it mainly makes assumptions based on nothing and stating very obvious facts. Was surprised at how poorly written and uninformative it is.
