I will want a roll. You might not be able to read it but could get some other context.

Just noted in the Wiki article: "Spanish conquest of the Maya"--which contradicts what was said earlier (Maya ghosts). I'm guessing the Maya who the Spanish encountered were descendants of the pyramid builders?

Yes, but the maya were still building new cities and pyramides when the spanish appeared. Just in diferent places.

While the Mayan civilization did collapse before the Spanish came, the Mayan people did still live there when the Spanish came and conquered them. The villiagers that you just encountered still consider themselves as Maya.

In fact Cortez returned to the New World and lead some military expedtions into the Yucatan.

Oh one thing. I had described the bottom of the cenote as dotted with brush. It is in fact thick with brush.

I visited Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archeology recently and they have a Maya section which I paid particular attention to. They had some "translations" of their pictographic language:

All the Mayan hieroglyphics I know come from The Pandora Directive. I'm not really familiar with how to translate the glyphs in real life, but it did a good job of teaching me the numbers:
And so on.

No wonder the glyphs were not translated until the--70s was it?

Just a little not. kabukiman is returning to the game so Percy is part of the group again.

Since Quinn is making breakfast, I will say you went back to sleep and woke up that morning. (it was only 2 am when you awoke from your nightmares)

Okay.

Oopps I missed the time.

Good luck everyone.

Just subtract the water!

Yeah it's cool. I remember being terrified by the 5m board at the pool.

Everyone having fun so far? I know I am.

I am.

I am too.

Yes!
