The Grolier Codex

The Grolier Codex is a rare ancient manuscript believed to be written by the Maya civilization around the 12th century. It is one of only four known Maya codices that have survived the destruction of their libraries during Spanish conquest. Made from bark paper and folded like a screen, it contains symbols and images related to Maya astronomy and rituals. Its authenticity was debated for many years, but recent studies support that it is genuine, offering valuable insights into Maya culture and history. The Grolier Codex is a significant artifact for understanding ancient Mesoamerican civilization.
