The second volume goes deeper into the forest and deeper into the argument. Stephens presses on through Central America and into Yucatan, uncovering Palenque and Uxmal and insisting, against the scholars of his day, that these cities were built by the ancestors of the people still living around them. The book that founded Maya archaeology, and won its case.
