Uncover History: The Maya

Book Synopsis

Uncover History and find out about the Mayan civilisation with this fun and humorous guide.

Who were the Mayans? Read about their daily lives, what jobs they did and why they built pyramids. Find out about their gods, why they stargazed and what happened to their civilisation. Find out the answer to questions such as ‘who ruled the Maya?’, ‘what was Mayan writing like?’ and ‘what art did the Maya make?’

Using fun, humorous illustrations, this book tells the story of Mayan people, from farmers to leaders.

Ideally suited for readers age 8+.

Read the other titles in the series: Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, the Vikings, the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age, and the Shang Dynasty.

Our Review Panel says...

A bright and engaging journey through the Maya civilisation.

This informative text is broken up into smaller chunks to make it accessible for younger KS2 readers. There are plenty of visuals to bring the content to life, while still incorporating plenty of subject-specific terminology.

The cartoon-style illustrations and speech bubbles add fun and interest to engage the more reluctant readers.
