Very Interesting

From the end of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth, a handful of investigators braved the dangers of the unknown and discovered the fascinating and spectacular history of a lost culture. Early explores such as Dupaix, who accepted a commission from Charles IV, discovered remarkable achievements and disappeared suddenly after his third expedition. Or the lawyer John L Stephens, who covered more territory and examined more Mayan sites than any previous explorer and made the first record of Mayan accomplishments. And there was the physician Le Piongeon, who claims to discovered a race of giants and dwarfs, and encountered the legendary Chacmool-The Tiger King. Fascinating journey into history and exploration.
