4.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting book, 9 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking the Maya Code (Paperback)
Really great book explaining how the stelae and glyphs in Copan and Quirigua were and are being studied. Mysteries and amazing discoveries about the old Maya civilisation keep on coming up and we discover part of these thru this book. Very interesting!
