913 Maya Voice                                            

​

​

In order for the Mayas of the River Valley to  record data of all astronomical, calendrical and ritualistic importance, they developed a hieroglyphic script noted for its complexity and aesthetic refinement.  At the center of their belief system was a perception of reality within time,, space, and the supernatural realm. 

​

Inherent in the symbolic system there were hidden meanings which unfold only as one recovers the sounds of the early Maya voice.
