The Maya by Michael D Coe
In this revised and expanded introduction to the Maya, Professor Coe incorporates the latest ideas and research in a fast-changing field. Spectacular tomb discoveries at the city of Copan reveal some of the early artistic and architectural splendours at this major site. New finds here and elsewhere entail a complete reinterpretation of the relationship between the warrior-kings of the classic Maya lowlands and Teotihuacan, the greatest city of pre-Conquest America. Continuing epigraphic breakthroughs - decipherments of Maya inscriptions - demonstrate vividly the shifting power blocs among the competing Maya city-states. Special features of this revised edition are a new guide to visiting the Maya area and lists of rulers for the major classic cities.Michael D. (Michael D.) Coe is a Yale University Anthropology Professor Emeritus. The Maya, México, Cracking the Maya Code, Angkor and the Khmer Civilization, and Understanding the Maya Glyphs are among his works. He is a resident of New Haven, Connecticut.
