The Blood of Kings

Linda Schele and Mary Ellen Miller

“The classic study of the New World’s most advanced, sophisticated, and subtle civilization—the ancient Maya. This remarkable people has begun to emerge from the obscurity of history, thanks to the tremendous progress made since the breaking of the Maya hieroglyphic code in 1960. This volume provides a social and historical framework for the architecture and objects produced by the ancient Maya and reveals a culture as rich and varied as the ancient civilizations of Europe, the Middle East and the Orient.”
