Publisher : Linda Schele and Peter Mathews broke the code of Mayan hieroglyphics in the early 1970s and opened the door to one of the most exciting intellectual adventures of this century. The Code of Kings represents the culmination of their landmark contributions to unlocking the secrets of the Maya.
This fully illustrated, highly informative tour of an intriguing lost civilization discusses Mayan history and culture and focuses on seven sites that exemplify the Mayan tradition of using public places to record their history and belief system. A wealth of maps, drawings, and photographs, a time line, and a glossary of gods and mythic figures, make this a great resource for tourists or armchair travelers; extensive end notes provide in-depth information for students of Mayan culture.
