For example, Glyph T757 has the following entry:ĭ2a A1 D3a E2 D4b V5 D8a A3 D8c F1 D9a D2 D10a B3 D10b D2 D11b B2 D22c F3 D47a F3 D47c E2 D69a A3 D74 B2 D29b C2 D36a C2 D39b A1 Uguku for years has spearheaded the In Lak’ech Study Group of Mesoamerican enthusiasts inside the prison, whose membership has waxed and waned depending on people coming in and going out of prison, and he was recently joined by a newer inmate named Clio Renata Reichart Ywahoo (she is transgender) who is, according to Uguku, a genius with a learning curve that is “so steep it is scary.”Ĭlio, in her self-introduction to me, says she has retained her childhood fascination with ancient history into her adult life (she is currently twenty-eight), so Uguku and I put her to work on the Comprehensive Commentary creating an index of every glyph in the Dresden Codex.
Maya glyphs interpretation update#
Around two years ago we embarked on the ambitious project of writing a new glyph-by-glyph, page-by-page commentary on the Dresden Codex, a much-needed (we feel) update to previously published commentaries.
George Stuart introduced me to Uguku some seventeen years ago and we have been corresponding and collaborating on many things, usually Maya codex related, ever since.
This current Research Contribution came about as a sidebar to a bigger, ongoing project: “A Comprehensive Commentary on the Dresden Codex.” Our readers may be familiar with Uguku Usdi (2013 2017) who is in the unique situation among Maya scholars of being a long-term prisoner in the State of California federal prison system.
