Nine against the Unknown
First published in 1934, this is the story of nine of the great western explorers, including Leif Ericsson, Marco Polo, Mungo Park and Richard Burton. Grassic Gibbon weaves together the history known of each explorer, speculating greatly and smoothing over any gaps with likely fiction
The Conquest of the Maya
Ancient Mexico
Ancient Mexico in the popular mind remains synonymous with Montezuma, treasure, and the late Rider Haggard. Even those who have passed beyond the naiveties of this horizonculture have seldom progressed further than Prescott, and still envisage his genteel Aztecs as the fons et ongo of all things Mexican. The latter view, so far as the Americanist is concerned, is roughly sixty years and three research stages out of date. By 1899 Mr W. J. Payne wa…
Inka and pre-Inka
Few of the standard Peruvian histories-much less those politicofantastic tracts which hasty study of the Ancient Peruvian scene has evoked in such number-give any adequate idea of the tremendous cultural background against which the Inka civilization was built up, or of the fact that from that background emerge those archaeological exceptions which constantly question the theories of modern Americanists
The End of the Maya Old Empire
The early nineteenth century witnessed a remarkable reversal of judgment on the American pre-Columbian cultures. Prescott's romantic histories and Lord Kingsborough's monumental Mexican Antiquities are inspirations of earlier and less sceptical eras. Such pleasing imaginings as that the Spaniards 'overthrew in Mexico a greater civilization than their own' received scant support from the archaeologist who had displaced the antiquary, or from the c…
Yucatan
In the first of these papersX dealing with certain problems in the history and archaeology of Ancient America an account was given of the Maya Old Empire and the possible causes which lead to its collapse in the fourth or sixth centuries A.D. The whole tract of Xibalba was probably deserted, its inhabitants scattered, and the alien theocracy which had inspired a great semi-civilization destroyed
