About this title

Synopsis

Draws upon translations of sacred texts and histories to examine Maya mythology and religion and unravel the question of how they have managed to preserve their sacred beliefs into modern times. The creation myth is explored as the basis for government, the symbolism of political power, a description of the daily lives of the common people, instruction for the afterlife, and as the lesson at the heart of the famous Maya ballgame. Includes 16 pages of color photos, and many black and white illustrations. Freidel is an anthropologist who has collaborated for this book with art professor Linda Schele and writer Joy Parker. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review

"The sky has become important to us in a way we never anticipated."-- from "Maya Cosmos""Maya Cosmos is an awesome achievement in decoding ancient thought."-- Mary Miller, co-author of "Gods and Simbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya""Maya Cosmos is...quite simply, one of the most important books on religious beliefs ever written--because it combines archaeology and all manner of other sources in a compelling, readable synthesis."-- Brian Fagan, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara
