To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Izamal many human 38 remains, contained in urns, have been found in the mounds.
u The ordinary dress of the common people among the Chaldeans, " says Canon Rawlison, in his work, the Five Great Monarchies, " seems to have consisted of a single garment, a short tunic tied round the waist, and reaching thence to the knees. To this may sometimes have been added an afoba, or cloak, thrown over the shoulders ; the material of the former we may perhaps presume to have been linen. " The mural paint...ings at Chichen show that the Mayas sometimes used the same costume ; and that dress is used to-day by the abori- gines of Yucatan, and the inhabitants of the Tierra de Guerra. They were also bare-footed, and wore on the head a band of cloth, highly ornamented with mother-of-pearl instead of camel's hair, as the Chaldee. This band is to be seen in bas-relief at Chichen-Itza, inthe mural paint- ings, and on the head of the statue of Chaacmol. The higher classes wore a long robe extending from the neck to the feet, sometimes adorned with a fringe; it appears not to have been fastened to the waist, but kept in place by passing over one shoulder, a slit or hole being made for the arm on one side of the dress only.
