From the Preface: "The Blood of Kings: Dynasty and Ritual in Maya Art" seeks to establish a social and historical framework for the architecture and objects produced by the ancient Maya. Previously lost to the obscurity of prehistory, these remarkable people have begun to emerge as genuine historical figures-with names, dates, whole lineages, and a series of recorded actions-all thanks to the tremendous progress made since 1960 in deciphering Maya hieroglyphic script." 335 pages.
