By the time the conquistadores arrived in Yucutan, where the Maya were then concentrated, many of thier greater cities were deserted. The stately monuments, the lofty,pyramids, and the palaces of the splendidly carved facades had been overwhelmed by the jungle. From the time of thier conquest until now, the magnifficent quality of thier art and the mystery of thier appearence and disappearence has excited man's imagination. Here a noted explorer and archaeological historian vividly reconstructs that strange and haunting people, bringing to life the marvel of the Maya city-states and the magnificence of an ancient realm.
