Description
Mouths of Stone: Stories of the Ancient Maya from Newly Deciphered Inscriptions and Recent Archaeological Discoveries Jeffrey Chouinard ISBN 9780890895658
Mouths of Stone offers a comprehensive exploration of ancient Maya civilization, covering its art, architecture, literature, social structure, religion, culture, and history. Drawing on a rich array of disciplines and sources—including archaeology, iconography, and colonial writings—the book places particular emphasis on recent translations of Maya inscriptions. It begins by establishing a framework for understanding Maya civilization as a whole, then focuses on three major Classic period sites to highlight their unique contributions: the stelae and altars of Copán, the architecture, ornaments, and inscriptions of Palenque, and the sociology, politics, and warfare of Tikal. Through translations of texts from each site, the book brings Maya histories vividly to life and deepens our understanding of this remarkable Pre-Columbian culture.
