To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From them we learned that they had never seen men of our race before, but that a man of the same race as Senor Hammond, who was of a bright-florid complexion, with light haij: and red whiskers, had been sacrificed and eaten by the Macbenachs, or priests of Iximaya, the great city among the hills, about thirty moons ago. Our interpeters stated that the word " Iximaya " meant the " Great Centre," and that " Mac- benach " meant the " Great Son of the Sun." I at once resolved to make the most of my... time in learning as much as possible of this dialect from these men, because they said it was the tongue spoken by the people of Iximaya and the surrounding region. It appeared to me to be merely a provinical corruption, or local pe- culiari^m, of the great body of the Maya language, with which I was already acquainted ; and, in the course of the next day's conversation, I found that I could acquire it with much facility." To this circumstance the writer is probably indebted for his life. In another day, the determined explorers had come within the circuit of the alpine district in which Iximaya is situated, and found it reposing, in massive grandeur, in the centre of a per- fectly level plain, about five leagues in diameter, at a distance of scarcely two from the spot they had reached.
