The Maya
civilization was one of the most advanced cultures in Mesoamerica, and their
empire’s incredible reign \(and mysterious collapse\) is a source of fascination
for all types of scholars. The culture is well-known for its long-count
calendar, inscribed on a large stone, as well as its incredible architecture,
and for having the first fully developed written language in the Americas. This
is known thanks to the codices, or folding books, which were found in various
historical sites and are considered some of the era’s most important artifacts.
While many
of these volumes were destroyed in ten years during and after the Spanish conquest,
three of the codices have been established as authentic beyond doubt. They are
named after the cities in which they eventually came to reside: the Dresden,
Madrid, and Paris codices. Other Maya books are extremely rare due to
disintegration: many excavations of archeological sites have unearthed lumps of
plaster which are the remains of tombs where all organic matter has decomposed.
