Description
A Glimpse of the Mayan Civilization through a Photographic Odyssey is conceived and edited by Mr. Richard Kan, a renowned collector and traveller, after a visit to the Mayan sites recently. Fascinated by the Mayan legacy, he decided to share his experience and knowledge of the Mayan civilization with others, featuring pictures taken during his journey as well as his reminiscence and observations. Apart from providing an overview of the Mayan cuisine, the Mayan numbering system and the Mayan game of football, the focus is on the Mayan calendar of which two chapters are included by Mr. Frank Egerton, a distinguished scholar from Oxford University, and another one by Prof Li Jing, a leading expert from the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This book is recommended to those interested in World Civilization, Anthropology, History, Archaeology and Astronomy.
