[Aztlan] glyph decipherment.

Michael Finley mjfinley at shaw.ca
Thu Aug 10 02:01:20 CDT 2006


David Stuart and Stephen Houston's "Maya Writing," a 1989 Scientific 
American article,  is still a good short introduction to the Maya script 
that explains the key breakthroughs --- and it's on-line:
http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/dept/d10/asb/anthro2003/legacy/mayan_lost_tribes/maya_writing/writing.html

 At Mesoweb is "classic" that was something of a landmark in 
decipherment:  Floyd Lounsbury's "Pacal", on the decipherment of the 
name glyphs of the greatest ruler of Palenque,  which explains the 
deductive process in detail:
http://www.mesoweb.com/pari/publications/RT01/RT01_01.html

If you really want to get into the topic, have a look at  "Introduction 
to Maya Hieroglyphs" by Harri Kettunen and Christophe Helmke, the text 
used at workshops teaching the Maya script  presented by Wayeb: 
Asociación Europea de Mayistas. I think it's the most comprehensive 
on-line introduction to the script.

>>I wanted to write to emphasize the situation is dire.

>>This could be the moment in which Piedras Negras is lost to the looters for

>>Usumacinta is now a free trade zone for looters, loggers, and narcos.

>>I want to ask, on behalf of my friends in the Defensores de la Naturaleza, 
>>administrators of the park, who are valiantly trying to get the Guatemalan 
>>government to respond to this crisis, and on behalf of the Instituto de 
>>Antropologia e Historia in Guatemala which is similarly trying to protect 
>>Piedras Negras that  you write to your representatives in congress and to 
>>the US ambassador in Guatemala City encouraging them to take action.  In 
>>the past, political and economic support from the United States through the 
>>Embassy has been successful in getting action from the Guatemalan 
>>government.

>>Dear listeros,
>>
>>I was wondering if anybody on Aztlan knows the contact information for 
>>an artist whose last name is Routledge and who is known for this very 
>>detailed and imaginative paintings and drawings of Maya myths. 
>>Specifically, I remember seeing scenes of ball-playing in Xibalbá with 
>>wonderful interpretations of the underworld gods. I have a proposition 
>>for him and really need to get a hold of him.
>>
>>Thanks in advance for any help any listeros may provide in this regard,
>>
>>Jorge
