Maya glyphs are the written symbols used by the ancient Maya civilization to represent their language. These glyphs can depict sounds, words, or ideas, making them a complex writing system. They were often carved on monuments, pottery, and codices, serving both ceremonial and historical purposes. The Maya developed a rich script that includes over 800 distinct glyphs. Scholars have worked for decades to decipher these symbols, revealing insights into Maya history, mythology, and daily life. The glyphs are an essential part of understanding the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Maya people.
