ISBN10: 0140234810, ISBN13: 9780140234817, [publisher: Penguin Books Ltd] Softcover A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. [Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 1994]
ISBN10: 0140234810, ISBN13: 9780140234817, [publisher: Penguin, London England] Softcover Paperback. Couple of slight creases to cover. Over twenty years ago, no one could read the hieroglyphic texts carved on the magnificent Maya temples and palaces; today, we can understand about 85 per cent of them. The pioneering discoveries of Yuri Knorosov, a brillian Russian linguist who had never set foot in the Americas, marked a decisive breakthrough. He was fiercely opposed by the red-baiting English expert, Eric Thompson, and scholars who saw the Maya as simple peace-loving stargazers incapable of inventing a phonetic writing system. Yet later researchers have transformed the inscriptions into historical docuements, revealing a culture obsessed with warfare, dynastic rivalries and ritual blood0letting. In this fascinating story of code cracking and factional fighting, the author explores the rocky road to what we know; he also provides a vivid and up-to-date picture of the Maya civilization. Illustrated. 288 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) [East Sussex, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 1994]
