The Road to Ruins ReviewI just finished reading this amazing book an hour ago, and this will be my first review after more than 30 books about the Maya I have bought through Amazon.com.
When I found out more than a year ago that Ian Graham was writing his biography, The Road to Ruins, I went into Amazon.com every week to see if I could find it, when it finally appeared, I immediately pre ordered it.
I really enjoyed the way Ian Graham narrates his anecdotes and explorations, I really could feel the jungle around me, specially in those sites where he had to hike for days to get to.
I couldn't believe the big amount of famous people he mentions he met in his life, including Salvador Dali, and I was surprised after reading a lot of stuff I didn't know of people like Michael D. Coe, Juan Yadeun, Dolores Olmedo, and the governor from Yucatan in the 1970's Carlos Loret the Mola, between others. I was very happy to read that the first prehispanic temple the author visited was the Tepozteco in Tepoztlan, Morelos, Mexico, because this specific site is very special to me and I go there to visit it at least twice a year.
There is only one thing I was expecting to see in this book and I didn't, a complete list of all the Maya sites Graham has explored, I know he probably has visited more than three hundred different Maya sites, but in his book he only mentions the name of 47, and for some descriptions, I concluded two more names he doesn't mention, like Topoxte, as an avid Maya explorer myself, I really wanted to see how many of the 108 Maya sites I have visited, have been explored by Sir Ian Graham, one of my three favorite Maya explorers ever, along with John Lloyd Stephens and Alfred Percival Maudslay.
I am sure this book is going to help me a lot in my future trips to the Maya jungle!The Road to Ruins Overview
