About this title

Synopsis

(Dutch version)
Drawing upon the research of numerous scholars, as well as his own explorations among the silent ruins of Maya cities now buried in the jungles of southern Mexico, Guatemala & Honduras, Gallenkamp provides a vivid reconstruction of the splendid mosaic of art, literature, science & ritualism embodied in Maya culture. In addition, he recounts the daring exploits of the region's early explorers & describes in detail some of the spectacular discoveries which have aided scientists in reclaiming this extraordinary civilization from centures of obscurity. A fascinating story of adventure, a moving panorama of lost grandeur, Maya brings readers up to date on one of the most intriguing archeological mysteries in the Western Hemisphere.
