Publisher's Comments
Mystery of the Maya relates the story of the Classic Maya, a remarkable people who inhabited the ancient region known as Mesoamerica between A.D. 250 and 900. Among many other achievements, the Maya developed a hieroglyphic writing system to record their history and beliefs, used sophisticated mathematics for devising a complex calendar, and built magnificent cities centred around plazas and temples. This illustrated book gives a lively account of the evolution of Maya civilization.
