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 system of writing. They were often carved on monuments, pottery, and codices, serving both ceremonial and historical purposes. The glyphs consist of logograms, which represent whole words, and syllabic signs, which represent sounds. Scholars have deciphered many of these symbols, revealing insights into Maya history, mythology, and daily life. The study of Maya glyphs continues to provide valuable information about this advanced civilization.
