The Four Surviving Maya Codices: Books of Time and Prophecy
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
After the Spanish conquest, nearly all Maya books were burned. Only four survive. This episode explores the Dresden, Madrid, Paris, and Grolier codices: their discovery, their content — from Venus tables to bee-keeping almanacs — and the fierce debate over the Grolier Codex's authenticity. Lucas and Luna discuss how these fragile books preserved Maya astronomy, ritual, and history, and what their loss means for our understanding of this civilization. Includes the latest carbon-dating evidence and a look at the scribes who created them.
