Quiriguá: A Guide To An Ancient Maya City
Matthew George Looper
In AD 738, one of the most remarkable events in recorded Maya history occurred, when the young, upstart ruler of Quirigua ruptured his city's subordinate relationship with the more powerful city of Copan, capturing and beheading its king. Author Matthew Looper explores Quirigua's fascinating history, within the context of a Maya world dominated by the superpowers Tikal and Calakmul, and presents a clear explanation of the Maya's cosmovision key to understanding their works of art. His guide book to Quirigua is an essential companion for anyone visiting archaeological sites anywhere in the Maya world.
