{"product_id":"digging-in-yucatan","title":"Digging in Yucatan","description":"xvii, 279 pp. \"It's 1924. A Mexican Revolution is settling down. Archeologists Ann Morris \u0026amp; husband, Earl Halstead Morris, head to the Yucatan. It takes them five long seasons to complete the awesome task of reconstructing the Temple of the Warriors, but the results were spectacular. Morris makes ancient history come alive \u0026amp; draws readers into the excitement of fieldwork. The Temple of the Warriors complex consists of a large stepped pyramid fronted \u0026amp; flanked by rows of carved columns depicting warriors. This complex, analogous to Temple B at the Toltec capital of Tula, indicates some cultural contact between the two regions. The one at Chichen Itza, however, was constructed on a larger scale. At the top of the stairway on the pyramid’s summit \u0026amp; leading towards the entrance of the pyramid’s temple is a Chac Mool. This temple encases or entombs a former structure called The Temple of the Chac Mool. The archeological expedition \u0026amp; restoration of this building was done by the Carnegie Institute of Washington from 1925-28. A key member of this restoration was Earl H. Morris who published the work from this expedition in 2 volumes entitled Temple of the Warriors.\"--goodreads","brand":"Junior Literary Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32107153588294,"sku":"2305784","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2305784.jpg?v=1600705801","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/digging-in-yucatan","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
