Review

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. !! Impressive !!By NB-The historical as well as mythological references of this book are amazing. The book ties together the cultures of the Mayan and The Aztec into a purly hypnotic mix of mythological splendor as well as historical fact. Both the cultures of the Maya and the Aztecs are well presented with work done on beliefs; rituals; and folktales. The book also has many beautiful pictures and explanations for the myths of the cultures as well as in-depth comparisons to other culture of today and yesterday. The book also does an amazing job of integrating the effect that these gargantuan cultures had on the societies of today. I would highly recommend the rest of the "Myth and Mankind" series to anyone who loves both myth and the historical facts behind it.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
