Vestiges of the Mayas: Mayab and Those of Asia and Africa is a book written by Augustus Le Plongeon and published in 1881. In this book, the author explores the similarities between the ancient Mayan civilization and those of Asia and Africa. Le Plongeon was a photographer and archaeologist who spent many years studying the Mayan civilization. He believed that the Mayans were a highly advanced civilization with knowledge and technology that surpassed that of their contemporaries. He also believed that the Mayans had connections to other ancient civilizations around the world, including those in Asia and Africa. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Mayan civilization and its connections to other cultures. The first chapter provides an overview of the Mayan civilization and its history, while the second chapter explores the similarities between the Mayan and Egyptian cultures. The third chapter focuses on the similarities between the Mayan and Hindu cultures, while the fourth chapter explores the connections between the Mayans and the ancient Phoenicians. Throughout the book, Le Plongeon provides detailed descriptions of the architecture, art, and religious practices of the Mayans, as well as those of the other cultures with which he draws parallels. He also includes numerous illustrations and photographs to support his arguments. Overall, Vestiges of the Mayas: Mayab and Those of Asia and Africa is a fascinating exploration of the ancient Mayan civilization and its connections to other cultures around the world.
