Le Plongeon presents the story of Queen Móo, a Maya queen connected to Chichén Itzá, whose husband Prince Coh is murdered by his brother Prince Aac. Le Plongeon argues that after this tragedy, Queen Móo leaves the Maya world, travels east, and that her story becomes preserved in Egypt through the figures of Isis, Osiris, and Set, with the Egyptian Sphinx serving as a memorial symbol connected to Prince Coh. The book’s larger argument is that Maya civilization was extremely ancient and that its language, symbols, monuments, religious ideas, and historical traditions influenced Egypt and other Old World civilizations.
