About the Book

Since retiring from the USAF as a Command Pilot and Engineering Officer, Colonel Peck has become one of the leading historians of Spanish seafaring conquest in the New World. Drawn to an interest in the enigmatic Maya Colonel Peck entered into a decade- long field study of the prehistoric Maya and discovered that the current view of Maya accomplishments in science and seafaring was appallingly inaccurate. In previous published works Colonel Peck has shown that contrary to current consensus, the Maya had developed a variety of efficient bronze tools with which they constructed large seaworthy vessels and traveled to the Caribbean and the shores of Florida using a sophisticated method of celestial navigation a millennium before it was developed in Europe.
