Moe,
Thanks so much for posting these! It really got me thinking about how little I think (?!) about the past and the Mayans in particular. We (or maybe it's just me!) get so caught up in the history of Europe and the Middle East, we forget about the wonderful parallel civilizations on the other side of the world.
@invisible - The book sounds great. I think I'll try and find it so I can learn a little more about the Mayans.
