This Soviet scientist decoded the Mayan script even before traveling to Mexico! In a dusty cabinet of a Leningrad museum, a young Yuri Knorozov managed to do what scientists across the world had been struggling over for centuries. And he only visited Mexico a whopping 40 years after his epochal discovery. The simple employee of the Museum of Ethnography of the Peoples of the USSR began learning about Maya writing from a scientific article. It was first presented as an unsolvable riddle of mankind. “What was invented by a human mind can be unraveled by another human mind,” Knorozov said later in an interview. No one in the USSR before him had ever taken on the challenge, so he decided to give it a try. Having studied all available documents, he realized that each Mayan sign should be read as a syllable, not a single letter or word. So, he proposed a system for reading the entire language. In 1952, Knorozov wrote a paper on his method and received a PhD degree. Soon, the whole world learned about Knorozov's discovery and he was even allowed to travel to several foreign conferences from the otherwise closed USSR. However, he only saw the monuments of the Mayan civilization for the first time in the 1990s, already as an elderly man. Although few people in Russia have heard of his name, he is still a real star in Latin America. 📷 Public Domain; Archive photo 🔔 Russia Beyond
