In the first millennium AD, the Classic Maya created courtly
societies in and around the Yucatan Peninsula that have left some
of the most striking intellectual and aesthetic achievements of the
ancient world, including large settlements like Tikal, Copan, and
Palenque. This book is the first in-depth synthesis of the Classic
Maya. It is richly informed by new decipherments of hieroglyphs and
decades of intensive excavation and survey. Structured by
categories of person in society, it reports on kings, queens,
nobles, gods, and ancestors, as well as the many millions of
farmers and other figures who lived in societies predicated on
sacred kingship and varying political programs. The Classic Maya
presents a tandem model of societies bound by moral covenants and
convulsed by unavoidable tensions between groups, all affected by
demographic trends and changing environments. Focusing on the
Classic heartland but referring to other zones, it will serve as
the basic source for all readers interested in the civilization of
the Maya.
