The Syllabic Sign we and an Apologia for Delayed Decipherment
PARI Journal. 2016. Vol. 17. No. 2. P. 33-56.
Beliaev D., Davletshin Albert, Zender M.
The principle aim of the paper is to present the evidence behind our identification of the phonetic sign we, and
to trace some key implications of that decipherment. Additionally, however, it is our apologia—that is, our explanation and justification of this strangely delayed discovery, now only entering the scene some six decades after Yuri Knorozov (1952) initiated the phonetic decipherment of Maya writing.

In studying Classic Maya mythology scholars meet two main problems. First, we don’t dispose with long narrative texts that are known from other early civilizations. Second, Maya mythology is still (re)constructed on the basis of Popol Vuh. In our paper we argue that the use of typology of mythological motives and themes can be very ...
