reviewed Incidents of Travel in Yucatan, Vol. 2 on May 28, 2019 Incidents of Travel in Yucatan
John Lloyd Stephens's Incidents of Travel in Yucatan, Vol 2 continues its author's intelligent survey of Maya ruins in the State of Yucatan. Although this book is not quite as good as the author's earlier Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas & Yucatan, Vol 1 and Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas & Yucatan, Vol 2, which is made more exciting by the mountains and the political turmoil in Central America. Only toward the end of the Yucatan volume does the political situation in Mexico begin to come apart.
It is amazing to me how contemporary Stephens's writing appears to be. Unlike others of his contemporaries, he refrained from speculating that the Maya pyramids were the result of Egyptians coming to the Americas. Moreover, his speculations about the Mayan language were ahead of his time. Today, it is possible to reconstruct the rulers and events of many Maya cities based on our understanding of the glyphs scattered throughout the region.
If you are planning to visit the land of the Maya, the Stephens books are not only highly recommended for their informative content, but for their entertainment value.
