Summary: "Sacred Mysteries Among the Mayas and the Quiches, 11,500 Years Ago" by Augustus Le Plongeon is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into ancient Mayan and Quiche civilizations, exploring their sacred mysteries and their connections to other ancient cultures, such as those of Egypt, Greece, and India. Through discussions on archaeology and esoteric practices, it aims to illuminate the ancient past of these peoples, suggesting that their rituals predate many well-known traditions. The opening of the text introduces the author's intention to challenge prevailing misconceptions about the sophistication of ancient American civilizations. Le Plongeon criticizes contemporary scholars who dismiss Mayan accomplishments and emphasizes the need to recognize their scientific and cultural contributions. The preface outlines the author's frustrations with the lack of interest and appreciation for Maya civilization in the United States and highlights his dedication to uncovering and disseminating knowledge about ancient rites and symbols. Le Plongeon positions himself as a passionate advocate for understanding the depth of ancient Maya heritage and the significant parallels with other world civilizations.
