Most of these writings were burnt by Fray Diego de Landa, but before proceeding with their final destruction, he transcribed the necessary amount of information that centuries later gave Yuri K. Knórozov the clues to decipher the Mayan hieroglyphs. Throughout Spanish dominion, the Maya learned how to write its own language using the Latin alphabet while they forgot its own scripture system.

This did not would occurred until the middle of the 20th century, when Knórozov discover the way to understand Mayan hieroglyphs. |
