520    In 1839 rumors of extraordinary yet baffling stone ruins 
       buried within the unmapped jungles of Central America 
       reached two of the world's most intrepid travelers. Seized
       by the reports, American diplomat John Lloyd Stephens and 
       British artist Frederick Catherwood-each already 
       celebrated for their adventures in Egypt, the Holy Land, 
       Greece, and Rome-sailed together out of New York Harbor on
       an expedition into the forbidding rainforests of present-
       day Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. What they found would
       re-write the West's understanding of human history. In the
       tradition of Lost City of Z and In the Kingdom of Ice, 
       former San Francisco Chronicle journalist and Pulitzer 
       Prize finalist William Carlsen reveals the unforgettable 
       true story of the discovery of the ancient Maya. Enduring 
       disease, war, and the torments of nature and terrain, 
       Stephens and Catherwood meticulously uncovered and 
       documented the remains of an astonishing civilization that
       had flourished in the Americas at the same time as classic
       Greece and Rome-and had been its rival in art, 
       architecture, and power. Their remarkable book about the 
       experience, written by Stephens and illustrated by 
       Catherwood, became a sensation, hailed by Edgar Allen Poe 
       as "perhaps the most interesting book of travel ever 
       published" and recognized today as the birth of American 
       archeology. Most importantly, Stephens and Catherwood were
       the first to grasp the significance of the Maya remains, 
       recognizing that their antiquity and sophistication 
       overturned the West's assumptions about the development of
       civilization. By the time of the flowering of classical 
       Greece (400 B.C.), the Maya were already constructing 
       pyramids and temples around central plazas. Within a few 
       hundred years the structures took on a monumental scale 
       that required millions of man-hours of labor, technical 
       and organizational expertise. Over the next millennium 
       dozens of city-states evolved, each governed by powerful 
       lords, some with populations larger than any city in 
       Europe at the time, and connected by road-like causeways 
       of crushed stone. The Maya developed a cohesive, unified 
       cosmology, an array of common gods, a creation story, and 
       a shared artistic and architectural vision. They created 
       dazzling stucco and stone monuments and bas reliefs, 
       sculpting figures and hieroglyphs with refined artistic 
       skill. At their peak, an estimated ten million people 
       occupied the Maya's heartland on the Yucatan Peninsula, a 
       region where only half a million now live. And yet, by the
       time the Spanish reached the "New World," the classic-era 
       Maya had all but disappeared; they would remain a mystery 
       for the next three hundred years. Today, the tables are 
       turned: the Maya are justly famous, if sometimes 
       misunderstood, while Stephens and Catherwood have been all
       but forgotten. Based on Carlsen's rigorous research and 
       his own 2,500-mile journey throughout the Yucatan and 
       Central America, Jungle of Stone is equally a thrilling 
       adventure narrative and a revelatory work of history that 
       corrects our understanding of the Maya and the two 
       remarkable men who set out in 1839 to find them.
