The most exciting field in Archaeology today is the work being done by the epigraphers who are translating and interpreting the written languages of the Maya. We are just starting to have a glimpse of this great mesoamerican civilization. Now we know, not only that the American continent was inhabited for a very long time, but that a dynamic civilization was developing before that of the Greeks or Romans. The Maya were one of the handful of cultures who developed an original complex written language.
