Only 3 Existing Texts in Mayan Hieroglyphics
There are only 3 books known to the Western World that are written in ancient Mayan hieroglyphics . They have been carried away from the Yucatan where the Maya live by explorers. They are:
- Codex Dresdensis which is in Dresden, Germany
- Codex Peresianus which is in Paris, France
- Codex Tro-Cortesianus which is in Madrid, Spain
According to Frank Waters in Mexico Mystique, they do not contain any historical information about the ancient Maya but only divinatory almanacs, eclipse tables, tables of the movement of the planet Venus, and religious material.
