Fiery Pool: The Maya and the Mythic Sea
A groundbreaking revisionist study of Maya civilization that reframes the ancient culture's relationship with the sea. Drawing on recent archaeological discoveries and advances in glyph deciphering, this richly illustrated volume reveals how water shaped Maya cosmology, spirituality, trade, and power dynamics—challenging traditional inland-focused interpretations. Featuring nearly 100 artworks, from monumental stone carvings to intricate jade sculptures, many exhibited in the United States for the first time. Essays by leading scholars provide fresh perspectives on Maya iconography and cross-cultural contacts.
