On the Age of Maya Ruins

"On the Age of Maya Ruins" by Charles P. (Charles Pickering) Bowditch is a historical exploration analyzing the timeline of ancient Mayan cities, using glyphs and inscriptions found on ruins to piece together their history. This study focuses on a key inscription from Chichen Itza, which the book compares to dates from other significant Mayan sites like Piedras Negras and Copan. Through careful calculation and comparison of these dates, the work suggests a shared period of prosperity among these cities, hinting at possible migratory patterns, historical context, and urging further investigation into the Mayan civilization's past by studying the region's archaeology history.
