I have long been fascinated by the Mayan culture and I wrote a poem about their history, in particular the history of their hieroglyphics. This poem documents the discovery of the key to their language.

MAYAN By A. Leigh Stewart Their texts long count from creation 3114 B.C. was born their nation Hieroglyphs tell the stories of a civilization’s former glories The Maya used the rising of Venus to plot wars most heinous they predicted eclipses with very few misses They write to great heights top to bottom and left to right with eighty signs not so barbarous ancient times Russian isolation gave insight into the meaning of their plight Respecting the spirit of the mountain delivered them a vestial fountain Hanab Pakal Palenque Lord of Shield a dynasty of King’s revealed the lowland south collapsed in war The dragon power soared The artistry was dead so another culture marched ahead Copyright © A.
