Would you like to learn about the pantheon of the 6th century Maya? Hellmuth's bi-lingual book (German-English) gives a look deep inside Maya religion.

727 illustrations to make the discussion easy to understand.

Monster and Men in Maya Art (not available in book stores, and NOT available via Internet book companies either). This book, published by ADEVA, Graz, Austria, is long out of print in Europe but the author has a few of the leather bound still remaining. Edition limited to 100 copies.
