"The Mayas, the Sources of Their History" by Stephen Salisbury is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the origins and civilization of the Maya people, their ruins, and the archaeological discoveries that shed light on their history. Salisbury provides insights into the ancient architecture, culture, and the significant figures involved in the exploration and study of Maya civilization. At the start of the text, the author establishes the framework for understanding the geography and significance of Yucatan, accompanied by references to maps and previous explorers. He discusses the ruins and architectural advancements of the Maya, emphasizing the importance of these sites for modern archaeological studies. The opening emphasizes the ongoing struggle to document and preserve the rich history of the Maya civilization in the face of time and neglect, setting the stage for further exploration and detailed accounts of Maya culture, language, and significant archaeological findings as the work progresses.
