This superb book breaks new ground in documenting the development and exploring the manifesations of royal authority among the ancient Maya as well as their descendants, as revealed by the religious beliefs and ceremonies of the Maya today. Drawing on the most current archaeological, epigraphic and art-historical research of an impressive roster of Maya scholars, "Lords of Creation" addresses specific aspects of the central historical issues and seminal artworks that exemplify the primary characteristic of Maya divine kingship: the capacity of rulers to intercede between gods and men.
