Early Spanish explorers stood in awe at the ruins of fabulous pyramids and palaces in the lost cities of the Maya civilization in Central America. For three centuries, these extraordinary architectural feats baffled Europeans and remained a source of myths and legends. Unravel the mystery with the archaeologists and artists who painstakingly brought the true picture together, piece by piece, in the 19th century. Lavishly illustrated with historic photos, lithographs, maps and drawings.
