The Magnificent Maya is one of twenty-four volumes in the Time-Life book series Lost Civilizations. This series explores the worlds of the past, using the finds of archaeologists and other scientists to bring ancient peoples and their cultures vividly to life. This volume presents the history and archaeology of Mayan civilization between 1000 B.C. and A.D. 1500.
Chapter One reveals the discovery of Mayan civilization and the fascinating story of the translation of the Mayan language. In Chapter Two we learn about the rise of key Mayan cities such as Tikal and El Mirador. The excavation of the tomb of Lord Pacal in the Temple of Inscriptions at Palenque is related in Chapter Three. Chapter Four explores the probable link between the Toltecs and the Maya. The book also describes Mayan blood-letting ceremonies, human sacrifices, mythology, and astronomy. The many photographs of Mayan art and architecture enhance the narrative and bring this captivating culture to life. Finally, archaeologists disagree as to what caused the collapse of Mayan civilization; this book postulates that environmental disaster and armed hostility are the factors that led to the end of Mayan civilization
In conclusion, The Magnificent Maya is a great book about an intriguing and sophisticated culture. Maps, index, and a bibliography are included. Highly recommended.
