Learning to write

From Saraceni: Stela 87, found at the Tak'alik Ab'aj park in Guatemala in 2018, is being deciphered. This is an ideographic detail of a king and his titles. It forms a transition between Olmec civilisation and the Maya.

The stele bears no linguistic content - as yet - but the excavators are confident that the script is ancestral to Classic [Choltal] Maya.
