Maya/Atlantis - Augustus Le Plongeon - Bog

Maya/Atlantis: Queen Moo and the Egyptian Sphinx is a book written by Augustus Le Plongeon, first published in 1900. The book presents the author's theories about the ancient Maya civilization and its connections to Atlantis, as well as the origins of the Egyptian Sphinx. Le Plongeon, a photographer and amateur archaeologist, spent many years in the Yucatan Peninsula, studying the ruins of ancient Maya cities and deciphering their hieroglyphics. He believed that the Maya were descendants of the lost continent of Atlantis, and that their civilization was much older than previously believed. He also claimed that the Egyptian Sphinx was built by the Maya, and that it depicted the face of their legendary queen, Moo. The book includes numerous photographs and illustrations of Maya artifacts and architecture, as well as Le Plongeon's own drawings and diagrams. While some of his theories have been discredited by modern archaeologists, Maya/Atlantis: Queen Moo and the Egyptian Sphinx remains an important work in the history of Mayan studies and the search for lost civilizations.The Mayan Civilization and its connection between Egypt and Atlantis is thoroughly documented in this basic source book, written over 100 years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
