Avoid being a Mayan Soothsayer!

Author Rupert Matthews, Illustrator David Antram

Get ready... for a world of magic, medicine and sacrifice, you're about to become a Mayan soothsayer!
You are the son of a Mayan soothsayer, living near the city of Copan in about ad 710. Becoming a soothsayer yourself means you could become an important man. However, you'd rather stay in your peaceful village being a farmer - get something wrong as a soothsayer and you'll be sacrificed! The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach recall what life would have been like as a Mayan holy man.
