The first nine books (chapters) are mostly made up of the younger days, birth to middle aged, to around the time he converted to Catholicism.

In their time of prominence, the Mayans did advances in astronomy and mathematics, and developed a very complex writing system and a calendrical system. They also had a distinctive…
