“Buried deep in the Central American jungle, the mysterious ruined cities of the Maya were a source of wonder to the early explorers who stumbled across them. Were there extraordinary pyramids and palaces the work of gods or humans? For three long centuries the mystery only deepened, but in the nineteenth century, as artists, photographers and archaeologists began to piece the whole picture together, romantic conjecture gave way to scientific fact, and the truth about the Mayan civilization and how these elaborate sites were built was finally revealed.”
