| Summary |
With over 120 historical and archaeological texts and images on Classic Mayan civilization, the Mayan Calendar System anthology contains a comprehensive exploration of Mayan history and culture, including its mythologies and the stunning prophecies associated with the famous Mayan calendar system. Along with an accessible overview of the Classic Maya period by anthropologistℓNezahualcoyotl Xiuhtecutliℓand a thoughtfully curated selection of historical materials, this anthology not only explores the origin and decline of the enigmatic Mayan civilization, but also reintroduces readers to the early archaelogists and anthropologists who unlocked the mysteries of the Mayan hieroglyphs. Read historical texts and trace the spiritual DNA of an extraordinary culture of people who were among the first to develop writing and mathematics, and whose lasting legacy can be seen in their massive ceremonial structures of the Yucatan, their unique concept of time and their uncanny predictions regarding the world we live in today. |
