When a worldwide Internet vote declared the ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá in Yucatán, Mexico one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, the honor came with a shocking revelation--Mexico's greatest archaeological treasure was private property! How could anyone come to own one of the archaeological crown jewels of Mexico? The answer was more incredible--the seller had been an American. Edward H. Thompson, an archaeologist, had spent decades exploring Chichén Itzá at his leisure and made one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in North America. All it cost him was his reputation, his fortune, and even his life. In this gripping non-fiction narrative, award-winning writer Evan J. Albright investigates Thompson's incredible true story by traveling to Mexico, where he uncovers the explorer's tragic secret--the son he left behind., When a worldwide Internet vote declared the ancient Maya city of Chich n Itz in Yucat n, Mexico one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, the honor came with a shocking revelation--Mexico's greatest archaeological treasure was private property How could anyone come to own one of the archaeological crown jewels of Mexico?

- u***t (66)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThe actual item was great. I was a bit disappointed, because the item was not shipped for three business days after my order was placed. Although the item arrived within the timeframe advertised, it was a day late for the event that I needed the costume for. I knew it was a risk, but I was hoping the item would arrive on the earlier end of the advertised timeframe, not the last possible day. I don't think the seller did anything wrong or this bears negative review, I was just a little bummed.Classic Ghostbusters Halloween Costume for Women, Medium 6-8, Includes Badges (#155928243999)
