This was a great book! The lost civilization of the Maya is slowly revealed during painstaking trips and excavations - being shared through painted images and some of the artifacts that were brought back.
At first, I was not sure what I was going to think about this book, but the deeper that I got into it, the more I had trouble putting it down. I was entirely hooked, and stayed up way to late to finish reading.
Highly recommend this book if you are a history buff!
