Maya Hieroglyphics is a writing system used by the ancient Maya civilization, primarily in present-day Mexico and Central America. This system combines logograms, which represent words or phrases, with syllabic symbols that represent sounds. The hieroglyphs were often carved on monuments, pottery, and codices, serving various purposes, including recording historical events and religious texts. The Maya developed this complex script around 300 BCE, and it reached its peak during the Classic period (250-900 CE). Scholars have deciphered many of these symbols, revealing insights into Maya culture, politics, and mythology, although some aspects remain a mystery.
