The Mayan civilization is one of those that continues to amaze historians and archaeologists - they were far more advanced than first thought.
Their writing system was highly complex, leading many to think that they were just decorative images at first - but once the code was cracked, we have been able to learn more about this civilization.
Captivating History brings the Maya back to life, sharing the myths, legends, and history in a way that many can understand and appreciate.
The Spanish decimated the Mayan civilization, on their search for treasure, and while some survived, you can see their lineage in descendants alive today.
I loved this book! I have always been fascinated by the Maya, and this book was just amazing on so many levels. I am looking forward to what else Captivating History has to offer!
