What reading level is The American Egypt a Record of Travel in Yucatan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. Charnay visited i the ruins in 1880, and endeavoured to saddle them with the name " Lorillard City/' in complimentary allusion to Mr. Lorillard, the chocolate millionaire who had defrayed the chief cost of the French archaeologist's tour. The honour of their discovery really belongs to that earnest and unselfish archaeologist Mr. Maudslay.
PALENQUE AND MENCHE 223 The ruins consist of temples and palaces of a construction very similar to all those buildings which are found at Palenque and aro...und ; but Charnay says they are smaller and less richly decorated than those at Palenque. They seem for some reason to have suffered severely from weather-wear, for all trace of outer decoration is gone. The chief ruin is that of a palace built on a high pyramid in six blocks, forming a rectangle. Such is the account M. Charnay gives of it, but he states that though the outline can be traced, the whole of the building is now in complete ruin. About 150 yards from the river on a pyramid about 120 feet high is a building 68 feet long and about 20 feet deep, which has three doorways.
