The Maya Universe The Maya had a calendar as accurate as any in Europe, or why the world will still be here in 2013

Maya Heiroglyphs Diego de Landa, 1566 Responsible for destruction of much of Maya literature Left detailed account of Mayas at time of conquest Described 64 hieroglyphs, equated 30 with letters Later researchers identified 400-800

Maya Heiroglyphs Once regarded as a type example of a language lost beyond recovery Heinrich Berlin, 1958 -Locality signs Tatiana Proskouriakoff, 1960 - Ascension and Reign signs

Maya Heiroglyphs Yuri Knozorov, 1960 De Landa was too good an observer to be totally mistaken His “letters” were really syllables Use positional statistics to analyze syntax Maya hieroglyphs are now over 85% decipherable Maya were not as one-dimensional as once thought
