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.
