The Bridge of Light

by A. Hyatt Verrill
The Bridge of Light by A. Hyatt Verrill
Unrated

Before there was Indiana Jones, there was A. Hyatt Verrill. Into his hand came an ancient Mayan codex, two thousand years old, a key to fame and fortune, but only if he could reach Mictolan, Lost City of the Maya!

"To reach it one must pass through the Valley of Death, through the tunnel of the Serpents, through the Pit of the great Zotional (crocodile). And even having passed such perils, one must cross the eight deserts with the raging whirlwind that cuts solid rock and must face the demon Ixputeque and the fiend Neztpehua in the realm of hot ashes and the two blazing mountains, and at last must enter the Cave of the Bats and cross The Bridge of Light..."

Alpheus Hyatt Verrill, known as Hyatt Verrill, (1871–1954) was an American archaeologist, explorer, inventor, illustrator and author. He was the son of Addison Emery Verrill (1839–1926), the first professor of zoology at Yale University.

Hyatt Verrill wrote on a wide variety of topics, including natural history, travel, radio and whaling. He participated in a number of archaeological expeditions to the West Indies, South, and Central America. He travelled extensively throughout the West Indies, and all of the Americas, North, Central and South.
