Listeros,

In my last message I told you that the Macri and Looper Catalog contains "the history of decipherment" of particular glyphs.  That part of the book is one of the many things that I like about it because it documents all the different interpretations that epigraphers have made about individual signs.  It is a testimony to the agonizing struggle that of trying to understand what these ancient people were writing -- a struggle that still goes on even as I write this (even though a majority of it has now been revealed).
