Book Reviews of A Forest of Kings: The Untold Story of the Ancient Maya
Book Review: This is a wonderful journey into the ways of the Maya.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for an fascinating introduction, this is the book for you. No one writes about the Maya as Linda Schele, one of the anthropologist's responsible for the latest and most accurate translations of the Maya, did. The shamanic Maya kings intrigue many people and the authors of this book make them come alive with all their foibles and vanities intact. Knowing that the Maya continue to live in their Central American homeland means that this book is a vital history lesson for the Maya people who have often forgotten their own interesting past.
