In describing what was, in effect, a lost Maya city, the book highlights the many
important research findings to date of long-term field research at the city, including
a very early, yet extraordinarily sophisticated ancient water control system, and
evidence for cacao arboriculture, to explain its rise to wealth and power as a "kingdom
of chocolate"; also detailed are the ancient city's sculpture and ceramics and the
ethnohistory of the modern Maya community lying atop it
