Abstract

Mayan Astronomy Mayan Codices are books written on bark in the few centuries before Columbus landed. Several record detailed hieroglyphic calculations of lunar and planetary motions and their relation to the Mayan calendar. Their predecessors have been unclear. Saturno et al. (p. 714 ) now describe a room in a Mayan complex in Guatemala dating to several centuries before the Codices that seems to have similar calculations on two of its walls. The east wall contains lunar calculations; the calculations on the north wall are more enigmatic, but may relate to Mars, Mercury, and/or Venus.
