About this listen

 Journey back to 1838, as explorers John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood traverse the dense Honduran forests, led by their guide through the rampant growth along the Cop√°n River. There, they stumble upon a symbol of the long-lost Mayan civilization - a 14-foot stone column, adorned with a stern-faced man and hieroglyphics, demonstrating craftsmanship rivalling the finest Egyptian monuments. Stephens chronicles their discoveries and travels in Central America, while Catherwood immortalizes the stunning Mayan architecture through his artistry. This gripping narrative, reminiscent of an Indiana Jones adventure, was a best-seller in its day. Join them in their exploration of a forgotten world in Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucat√°n.
