| Summary | "Queen Moo's Talisman: The Fall of the Maya Empire" by Alice D. Le Plongeon is a historical narrative poem that was published in the early 20th century. The book explores the mythological and historical elements surrounding the Maya Empire through the lens of Queen Moo, a key figure in the tale. It likely addresses themes of love, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of life and death as it pertains to the Maya civilization. The story revolves around Queen Moo, the daughter of a potentate, who faces tumultuous events involving her family and kingdom. In the narrative, Moo is torn between two rival suitors, her brothers, ultimately marrying the valiant Coh. Tragedy strikes when Coh is betrayed and killed by the jealous Aac, leading Moo to a path of grief and turmoil. As the tale unfolds, it depicts the decline of the Can dynasty through conflict and betrayal, culminating in Moo's desperate attempts to ensure her legacy by preserving her love for Coh through a talisman. The narrative extends across time, encapsulating themes of reincarnation and the bonds that persist beyond mortal life, as Moo eventually finds a new home in Egypt, hinting at the interconnectedness of ancient cultures.
