Book Overview
Gunckel's groundbreaking study of American hieroglyphs challenges traditional Eurocentric interpretations of ancient Mayan and Aztec texts. He argues that American cultures developed their own unique system of pictographic communication that is distinct from the hieroglyphic writing systems of ancient Egypt and the Near East. Drawing on a diverse range of sources, including ethnographic fieldwork and archival research, Gunckel presents a compelling case for the importance of understanding American hieroglyphs as a unique and valuable record of indigenous American intellectual and cultural traditions.
