What reading level is The City of the Sacred Well book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The carving in many cases is as fine as that on the best cameos and is brought out by red pigment. Shght traces of green are indicated, also, following the same general scheme as the large carvings on the temple walls, where green and yellow pigments are used to indicate respec- tively jade and golden objects or ornaments. That these colors have withstood centuries of immersion is truly remarkable; I doubt much if any of our modern color- ings would have the same lasting qualities.
"Now I come ...to the last and perhaps most important of our finds — various objects of jade. We brought up from the very lowest part of the well seven jade plaques or tablets, broken but later fitted together with almost no parts missing. They measure, approximately, three by four inches, and are well carved with cameo-like de- signs of Maya deities. Of similar design and length, but only two inches wide, are nine additional plaques.
"Of jade personal ornaments we recovered a hundred and sixty large, handsome carved beads and pendants of varying sizes.
