Telling the story of the Maya peoples from their earliest
beginnings to the start of the 20th century, this book divides the
3,000 year time span into seven distinct sections. Each provides a
detailed vignette of the events, explorers, and people of a
particular Maya era, starting with the tropical lowlands' Olmec
civilization. Among the topics covered are the shamanistic rites by
which Mesoamerican monarchs based their power to rule; the
Preclassic megacity of El Mirador and its near neighbor Nakbe; the
Maya creation myth of the Hero Twins and its role in organizing
Maya society; and the power struggles between the cities Tikal and
Calakmul.
