We have been photographing Mayan glyphs for over thirty years, so you can count on having an ample selection available to you. F.L.A.A.R. has the only digital rollout system in the world which is dedicated to recording Mayan hieroglyphs. The digital format allows observation of detail which is not easily visible in an old fashioned photograph. F.L.A.A.R. has infrared rollout photographs as well. Come to sunny Florida and escape the winter.
Epigraphy is the study of the meaning of hieroglyphic writing.
Many glyphs are on the Late Classic vases, bowls, and plates, and we can easily learn the key hieroglyphs, such as the word for cacao. No prior knowledge of Mayan hieroglyphic decipherment is required. This is not a technical session on phoneticism, but a slide show of exquisite examples of the best artwork produced by Classic Maya scribes. Iconography is the study of meaning in art, specifically to learn to recognize how to identify the different Maya deities and mythical monsters. Whereas Chac had a long nose, not all long-nosed deities represent Chac.
