What reading level is The World's History; a Survey of Man's Record book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Prom this town Nima-Quich^ — the great Quich^ — emigrated with three brothers, and turned his steps westward to the mountains, as we learn from the traditions of the western peoples. The brothers are said to have then divided America-] HISTORY OF THE WORLD 247 the land so that one obtained the district of Chiapas (Quelenes), the other obtained Verapaz (Tezulutlan), and the third the district of Mames and Pocomams (on the northwest of Guatemala), while he himself gained the land of Quich^, Kakch...iquel, and Tzutuhil; the royal house of this kingdom traced its origin from him. In spite of its Nahua influences this tradition clearly shows the consciousness of a national unity, even among such Maya peoples as have played no further part in history ; and it also refers their origin to a time when this national consciousness had not been so wholly deadened as it afterward was. Chiapas now appears as one of the four Maya kingdoms, and there is nothing to show that this district had already fallen into the hands of foreign conquerors ; therefore this division of peoples must be regarded as belonging to a time long before the flight of the Maya from Chiapas.
