Abstract
Uno de los misterios máás persistentes en Améérica ha sido el origen de los pueblos vernááculos. En el siglo XIX, el viajero Fréédééric de Waldeck propone una explicacióón del origen de los pueblos mayas en el primer testimonio escrito conocido sobre las ruinas de Uxmal. En el presente ensayo se analiza este intento a travéés de un modelo de explicacióón que la Europa decimonóónica encuentra en Oriente y que Waldeck articula a travéés de uno de sus mitos fundamentales: las tribus perdidas de Israel. One of the most persistent mysteries in America has been the origin of vernacular peoples. In the 19th century, the traveler Fréédééric de Waldeck proposes an explanation of the origin of the Maya people in the first known written testimony about the Uxmal ruins. This essay analyzes this attempt through a model of explanation that the 19th century Europe finds in Orient, which Waldeck articulates by means of one of his fundamental myths: the lost tribes of Israel.
