Ancient Aztec and Maya

With dozens of entries describing the history of ancient civilizations and the landscapes in which they thrived, this new reference series uses maps, reconstructed artworks, and photographs to provide invaluable information about the great cultures of the past.

This book describes not only the Aztec and the Maya, but also other peoples who were among the earliest Americans. It takes the reader from ancient temple mounds in Ohio to the ruins of Machu Picchu, high in the mountains of Peru.
