The reliques and the things of fame in this book are not in Illyria, but in southern Mexico and the adjacent lands of Guatemala and British Honduras.
From the rear cover
Maya Archaeologist is an autobiographical account of explorations in Mayan ruins by J. Eric S. Thompson, one of the world's foremost authorities on the Maya Indians of Mexico and Central America. Based on his expeditions from 1926 to 1936 - when conditions in the Maya area were very close to those in the years of the Conquest - this book is an intensely personal account of the investigation of the "stone cities", such as Uxmal, Chichen Itza, Copan, Tikal, and Quirigua, as well as lively portraits of the archaeologists who probed this civilization - Morley, Gann, Ruppert, Vaillant, Roys, and many others.
