Description:
Cracking the Maya Code: The story behind the centuries-long decipherment of ancient Maya hieroglyphs Part 1The ancient Maya civilization of Central America left behind an intricate and mysterious hieroglyphic script, carved on monuments, painted on pottery, and drawn in handmade bark-paper books. For centuries, scholars considered it too complex ever to understand—until recently, when an ingenious series of breakthroughs finally cracked the code and unleashed a torrent of new insights into the Mayas' turbulent past. For the first time, NOVA presents the epic inside story of how the decoding was done—traveling to the remote jungles of southern Mexico and Central America to investigate how the code was broken and what Maya writings now reveal.

Oct 27, 2011 - No one people have simply disappeared in history. When they say the Mayans "disappeared", they mean that their cities became uninhabited but the people remained. Not all of the Mayan Civilisation "disappeared", several cities continued to exist until the spanish destroyed them. Also, if a city is abandoned, the people don't immediately lose knowledge of writing and manuscipts from past ages continue to exist.

Nov 2, 2011 - it is less painful to die when someone remove your heart, try cruxifixion by your beloved christian and catholic, not only jesus died at the the cross , but and estimated of 1 million peole, does that seem civilizated to you? you are so plucking wrong buddy!!!!
Br4veDave Says:
Nov 2, 2011 - Get you facts straight. Jesus was crucified on the cross by the Romans.Anywho, it must be something to be taken up to a pyramid while an entire city is cheering your demise to be put on a stone slab and have your heart ripped out. Do you think the people waiting to be sacrificed wanted to die? Then again these are the same people who cut off their lips to look like they were permanently scowling.

Mar 13, 2012 - Over time,humankind has created many different scripts.One of the most beautiful and most baffling of these forms of writing is that left by the Mayan peoples of Central America.This consists of symbols,usually known as glyphs,which are combined together in squares.For hundreds of years,Mayan priests recorded these glyphs in a variety of media―carved on stone.written in books made of the bark of trees,or painted on walls.It's nery interesting.
