Input seekers,
There are lots of books to read about the calendar and I am especially intrigued by those that tell how the research has led to the conclusions we've made about the Mayans and their knowledge.
But when will I have time to read them? So much to do, so little time to do it.
My public library has a few that I will look into before I buy any. Here are two I'd like to start with:
Breaking the Maya Code, by Michael D. Coe
The Code of Kings: the language of seven sacred temples and tombs, by Linda Schele and Peter Matthews

I love the subject too. I'm a librarian so I have this advice for you: don't buy books. Push your library to get them. They are soon going to need lots of books about the Maya anyway because 2012 MY2K will be a huge deal.
ReplyDeleteWhy own books and dust them? Convince your library that that is their job. If you want a title, they should get it for you.
Nice blog, btw!
Thanks for the post, Susan. I found your blog, MY2K, several weeks ago and I love it! I'm slowly going through the archives. Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the info and images! I especially like the glyphs and artifacts.
