Breaking the Maya Code

This movie was great!! 2hours long but I am able to stay up to watch it through. talked about origins of the language and how imaginative the Mayans had to be to develop this hieroglyphics. Many anthropologist, archeologist thought that every symbol had its own meaning, but a young man followed the lead of a Historian by the name of Thomas to break the hieroglyphics to phonetics.

An estimated 90% of the Mayan Hieroglyphics are read able through the discovery that some ancient Mayan's learned to write in Latin. With the Latin writings, linguist were able to decipher most of the hieroglyphics.

The landmarks is also a story within a story, which talks about the Reign of Leaders. I highly recommend this documentary.
