STEPS IN DECODING MAYAN HIEROGLYPHIC WRITING The most recent discoveries on Mayan hieroglyphic writings are presented in this Second Edition, fully revised and updated with new, important chapters. The techniques presented in this book are unique innovations on the analysis of Meso-American writing, which may lead to finally deciphering the Mayan hieroglyphic writings. By projecting vertical hieroglyphic groups on circular graphs with scales that enter data-like screens, the sequence indicated by lines connected to their points develop geometric figures of outstanding precision. This synthesis gives a visual representation of the dispersion of the series. "Circular Analysis" is a new method in the study of Meso-American hieroglyphics. Vertical Mayan inscriptions, which had escaped our understanding for millennia, are elucidated in this book, Steps in Decoding Mayan Hieroglyphic Writing, as an intricate filigree of modern mathematics, geometry and astronomy. All knowledge derived from Mayan hieroglyphic writing is proportional, harmonious, precise and applies to the universe. This book is indicative of the future orientation of research related to the science of the Mayans and is derived from the analytical study of a single document, The Dresden Codex-- a priceless message.
