Reply #24: The deciphering of Maya writing.... [View All]

[Bridget Burke]

Has been one of the most fascinating developments of recent archaeology. (I'm old, it may not be so recent for you!) We now have Mayan history instead of only speculation. Of course, there's much more to learn.

I'm not an archaeologist but have long been fascinated by the subject. (My college Archaeology teacher actually made the subject boring. Most of the Anthropology Dept had been removed by an academic purge.)

I've never cared for the Survivor-type shows. But damaging an archaeological site is worse than being silly and/or tasteless.

Thanks for the info.
