Abstract

"For more than three millennia the cultures of Mesoamerica flourished, building the first cities in the western hemisphere and developing writing systems of intense creativity and efficiency. The Nahuatl-speaking Aztecs reigned over one of the greatest imperial civilizations that the Americas had ever seen, but up until now their intricate and visually stunning hieroglyphs have been overlooked in the story of writing. In this groundbreaking guide, Gordon Whittaker gives you with everything you need to know to appreciate and understand Aztec hieroglyphs. In addition to providing a step-by-step, illustrated guide to read the hieroglyphs themselves, Whittaker will explain their special features in comparison to other writing systems from around the globe, tell the story of how this enigmatic language was finally deciphered, and take readers on a tour through Aztec history as recorded in hieroglyphs. Deciphering Aztec Hieroglyphs is essential reading for anyone interested in the Aztecs, hieroglyphs, or ancient languages"--
