Secrets in Stone : All About Maya Hieroglyphics by
Laurie Coulter
Until about forty years ago, the ancient Maya hieroglyphics and the
world they described remained virtually indecipherable. Now Secrets in
Stone takes readers into the world of the ancient Maya code and explains
how it was deciphered and what it all means. Not only is this the first
book on the subject for children, this book also comes with its very
own UV-raised "Glyphmaster," which allows budding archaeologists
to create glyph rubbings, just like real archaeologists, Ancient Egyptians
hueroglyphics have long captivated the interest of children. Now, inquisitive
minds will relish developing their own secret codes and messages with
over fifty Maya hieroglyphs.
