Mayan glyphs

Mayan glyphs are the written symbols used by the ancient Maya civilization to record language, history, and astronomy. They combine pictorial elements with phonetic and syllabic signs, creating a complex writing system that can represent sounds, words, and ideas. These glyphs were inscribed on monuments, ceramics, and codices, enabling the Maya to document important events, rulers, and dates, especially through their advanced calendar system. Deciphering Mayan glyphs has revealed insights into their culture, politics, and scientific knowledge, making them a remarkable example of a sophisticated pre-Columbian writing tradition.
