Observations of the sun, moon, planets, and stars played a central role in ancient Maya lifeways, as they do among contemporary Maya who maintain the traditional ways. This book constructs Maya astronomy and cosmology through the astronomical information encoded in Precolumbian Maya art and confirmed by the practices of living Maya peoples.
