Memoir of an Eventful Expedition in Central America - Resulting in the Discovery of the Idolatrous City of Iximaya, in an Unexplored Region; and the Possession of two Remarkable Aztec Children, Descendants and Specimens of the Sacerdotal Caste, (now nearly extinct,) of the Ancient Aztec Founders of the Ruined Temples of that Country, Described by John L. Stevens, Esq., and Other Travellers.

The above three figures, sketched from engravings in Stevenss Central America, will be found, on personal comparison, to bear a remarkable and convincing resemblance, both in the general features and the position of the head, to the two living Aztec children, now exhibiting in the United States, of the ancient sacerdotal caste of Kaanas, or Pagan Mimes, of which a few individuals remain in the newly discovered city of Iximaya. See, the following Memoir, page 31. These two figures, sketched from the same work, are said, by Senor Velasquez, in the unpublished portion of his narrative, to be irresistible likenesses of the equally exclusive but somewhat more [4]numerous priestly caste of Mahaboons, still existing in that city, and to which belonged Vaalpeor, an official guardian of those children, as mentioned in this memoir. Velasquez states that the likeness of Vaalpeor to the right hand figure in the frontispiece of Stevens second volume, which is here also the one on the right hand, was as exact, in outline, as if the latter had been a daguerreotype miniature. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
