More than just tombs or temples, the pyramids served as stages for sacred ceremonies, including human sacrifice, and were intricately aligned with celestial events. The book highlights how these pyramids embody the Mayan worldview, acting as nexus points between earthly and celestial realms.

The book examines diverse aspects of Mayan pyramid rituals, starting with the pyramid as a microcosm of the Mayan universe. It delves into the role of human sacrifice, its methods, and societal impact, while also exploring the astronomical alignments of pyramids in relation to the Mayan calendar system.

Through archaeological findings, epigraphic analyses, and historical accounts, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Mayan pyramid rituals, offering fresh insights into ancient religious practices.

By integrating archaeology, anthropology, and religious studies, Mayan Pyramid Rituals offers a holistic understanding of Mayan civilization, moving beyond simplistic portrayals of sacrifice and violence. The book systematically progresses through key themes, culminating in an examination of the lasting legacy of these rituals and their implications for understanding ancient religions.

This unique approach makes the book valuable for anyone interested in Mayan civilization, ancient religions, and religious history.

How to Grieve - An Ancient Guide...

Marcus Tullius Cicero

An engaging new translation of a timeless masterpiece about coping with the death of a loved one 
 
 
 
In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward. 
 
 
 
Lost in antiquity, Cicero's Consolation was recreated in the Renaissance from hints in Cicero's other writings and the Greek and Latin consolatory tradition. The resulting masterpiece—translated here for the first time in 250 years—is infused throughout with Cicero's thought and spirit. 
 
 
 
Complete with an inviting introduction, Michael Fontaine's engaging translation makes this searching exploration of grief available to readers once again.
