We are in fact, seeing a revolution in the understanding of Maya iconography and religious beliefs through analysis of the scenes on pottery." With these words, Dr. Michael Coe continues to delve into the complexities and mysteries of the Maya pantheon. In this book, the fourth in his explorations, (the previous volumes were "The Maya Scribe and His World," "Classic Maya Pottery at Dumbarton Oaks", and "Lords of the Underworld") Dr. Coe unravels the iconography and sheds light on the old gods and young heroes that we encounter in this book. As part of the process of understanding the vases, Justin Kerr developed and built a camera, which literally "unrolls" the vases, so they can be studied more easily. His camera has eliminated the need for many photographic views of a cylindrical object, giving the scholar another tool to work with. This is the second major use of roll~out photographs; the first was in "Lords of the Underworld" by Dr. Michael D. Coe.
