Great introduction to the Maya
A good starting point to learn about the Maya. The narrator is a bit odd though. He is easy to listen to, until you hear the breath he takes before he starts every sentence that you then can't unhear. It sounds like it has been edited but cuts in half way through the breath...bizarre! Enjoyed listening overall though.

Mispronunciations abound
Very detailed history with many place names and plain English words mispronounced. It sounded as though the reader had no coaching at all on place names.
