Centuries before Columbus 'discovered' the Americas, the ancient Maya flourished in thriving cities like Palenque and Chichen Itza. They tracked the stars and created elaborate calendars, built temples to an array of gods, performed human sacrifice on a regular basis - and drank chocolate. Discover what lies behind the mystery of their prophecies in this fascinating volume.
