"Peter D. Harrison" Drawing on over 30 years of excavation and research, some of it his own, renowned archaeologist and Mayan expert Peter D. Harrison gives a vivid account of the turbulent story of Tikal over some 1700 years, from 800 BC to the late 9th century AD. Making full use of the remarkable recent breakthroughs in translating the Maya's own hieroglyphic record, Dr. Harrison offers a cogent, fascinating summary of what is known to date of this romantic, mysterious city and its rulers. Complete with a section on visiting Tikal, THE LORDS OF TIKAL will engage exotic tourists and armchair travelers as much as archaeologists and professionals. THE LORDS OF TIKAL is available online from Amazon.com, wherever books are sold, or directly from the publisher.
