About the Event

Previous participation and previous knowledge not required.

Are you curious about how Maya hieroglyphs are read and what they say? Maya glyphs are one of the most visually interesting writing systems in the world, and are still being deciphered today. In this reading group, we will learn about the process of decipherment, how to read Maya glyphs, and where you can find more resources to continue learning!

Here is what you will be able to do at the end of the reading group:

  • Outline the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphic writing from the past through today
  • Demonstrate basic competency in Maya calendrics and numeric functions
  • Identify the most common Maya syllabograms and logograms
  • Interpret captions found in important Maya works of art
