Piktogramme der Mayas auf Stufen
What makes the Mayans so special was that we know so much about them unlike the other two groups.
You see, the Aztecs’ empire only started in 1428 and ended less than 100 years when Cortes defeated
them in 1521. Due to their short reign over Mesoamerica, the Aztec writing system didn’t have the time
to develop.
While the Inca did last a long time, they kept records using a string system called Quipu, that we can’t
decipher.
But the Maya on the other hand, we know about their writing system and have plenty of records of them.
They kept a pictograph writing system that kept writings of Dynastic records, religion, and others as well.
