tends to return by airplane to his
city of the dead" in Mexico, which
he discovered 36 years ago.
The original Journey was made
by burro and aloot, in 1892, spon
sored by J. P. Morgan, Sr., and
Morris K. Jessup.
Niven's work was the beginning
of uncovering five burled cities
near the site of Mexico City, They
represented, Jessup believes, five
distinct civilizations that existed
from B. C. 4000 and 5000 to A. D.
1200. Each city, he concluded, was
wiped out in turn by some cata
clysm, leaving each separated from
the next by layers of earth and
stone.
In his first expedition he recov
ered the "tablets of life and death"
which are now In the American
Museum of Natural Htftorv.
