Dr. Le Plongeon, the Central American explorer, to whose work in Yucatan reference has been several times made, declares that he has indisputable evidence that the history of our country, North America, began 110 centuries ago. In the Mayas Yucatan he finds all remains of the early inhabitants, and evidence, including manuscripts, that the language is the oldest living tongue in the world. The history of the creation, the deluge, and other great epochs are before the reader in this ancient tongue. In many respects it is identical with the ancient Persian, and the Sanskrit roots frequently appear. The story of Atlantis is also found. The collection embraces seventy-seven stereoscopic plates and twenty terra cotta models, illustrating houses, ruins, palaces, observatories and other archaeological remains of greatest interest. Although the key-stone arch is not found in these ruins, the buildings are several of them domed over. The frescoes show art superior to that of ancient Egypt. There are 300 casts of the inscriptions also in the collection and plans of the royal buildings at Chichen-Itza. One of the royal residences was found to contain 120 rooms. These collections, it is hoped, will find a permanent place in some of our museums.
