The Mayan civilization flourished between 200 and 900 A. ... During that time, the Mayan system of writing was developed. It was highly complex and very different from other writing systems. The Maya’s style of writing has intrigued many types of people for hundreds of years.
The Mayas created a hieroglyphic system of writing using symbols that represented sounds rather than objects and ideas. This writing system included close to eight hundred symbols, each of which represented a full syllable. ... Just like the list of all the letters in the English language is called the Alphabet, the list of all the symbols in the Mayan language is called the Syllabary. ...
