Sinopsis

This is a story of how the Mayan glyphs found in the ancient ruins of Copan in Central America and other Mayan sites have been deciphered within the last twenty years.

Rese�a del editor

Thanks to an extraordinary scientific breakthrough, Mayan monuments are revealing a history lost to humanity for a millennium. Coe gives the inside story of the decipherment of Mayan glyphs, portraying the Maya as a complex civilization, obsessed with warfare, dynastic rivalries, and ritual bloodletting, yet creators of supreme masterpieces in art and architecture. Illustrations.
