Sacred Mysteries Among the Mayas and the Quiches, 11,500 Years Ago: Their relation to the sacred mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Chaldea and India. Free Masonry in times anterior to the Temple of Solomon.
Augustus Le Plongeon claimed Mayan civilization predated Egypt, connecting them through shared sacred mysteries.
In 'Sacred Mysteries Among the Mayas and the Quiches,' Augustus Le Plongeon posits a deep connection between Mesoamerican cultures and ancient Old World civilizations. Published in the late 19th century, his work sought to demonstrate that the Maya and Quiché peoples possessed sacred knowledge echoing that of Egypt, Greece, Chaldea, and India. Le Plongeon argued for a shared origin of religious and philosophical concepts, suggesting that these ancient traditions were not isolated developments but part of a universal spiritual heritage. He focused on interpreting Mayan hieroglyphs and myths to reveal parallels with known esoteric traditions. The book also touches upon the origins of Freemasonry, placing its roots in an era preceding the construction of Solomon's Temple. Le Plongeon's research aimed to uncover a unified system of sacred understanding that underpinned disparate ancient societies, linking them through common symbols and rituals. This perspective positions ancient American cultures within a global esoteric framework.

My book club chose this last month. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Happy enough with the purchase.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Definitely recommend.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Glad I finally picked this up.
I keep coming back to this one. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Happy enough with the purchase.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Happy enough with the purchase.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. You can tell why this work has endured. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them.
