Sinopse

IN SEARCH OF THE MAYAN WORLD is part of the Extreme Travel Collection, dedicated to fantastic and real-life adventures in the most inhospitable, exotic, and interesting places on the planet. A 24-page booklet with photos illustrates the exciting journey. To write the book, Ortiz traveled through the jungles where the Mayan people lived, whose cultural traces are still visible in small villages in some Central American countries and part of Mexico, seeking to understand the reasons for the collapse of such a highly developed civilization. The Mayans developed a complex writing system, combined with an advanced numeral system (with the use of the number zero). This pre-Columbian civilization also possessed extraordinary astronomical knowledge. In a territory of more than 300,000 square kilometers, spanning five Central American countries, they erected monumental temples.
