After a brief introduction the book takes us reign by reign through various Classic Era Mayan city-states.
This book has some great illustrations but in many ways is a reference book rather than a narrative history to read straight through.
The Mayan lords put up stelae at calendrically significant dates with texts about the lord who sponsored the stela. Some buildings also have inscriptions.

Robertgreaves | 3 autres critiques | Jun 29, 2012 | As before, a very good book. Major noticable difference is more and more of the rulers are known by their real Maya names instead of silly nicknames
Facinationg book, makes a great companion book to Dechipering the Maya glyphs, many key inscriptions are illustrated in this book.
