OM DENNE EPISODE
Were you feeling anxious last year because of the impending holiday shopping? Or were you resting easy knowing that the Mayan apocalypse meant you didn’t have to sit in traffic at the mall? Although we know now that the reports were based on a misunderstanding, we’re still left wondering, if the Mayans didn’t predict the end of the world, what did they write down? Turns out, they left us a rich history of births, deaths, wars, feasts, and conquest—if we’ve got the translation right. Tonight we will be taking a closer look at the cryptic world of Mayan hieroglyphs. Join us and our guest, Dr. Marc Zender, as we discuss the issues surrounding the interpretation of a writing system that developed over the course of 2,000 years! Whether you’re an art historian, an archaeologist, an epigrapher, or an Indiana Jones enthusiast, you won’t want to miss our latest archaeological discussion tonight at 6 PM ET.
