Question
Yuri Knorozov identified syllabic signs in this civilization’s script, most sources of which were destroyed by Diego de Landa. This civilization used fig-bark to make a type of paper called huun (“hoon”). As a funerary monument for a long-reigning ajaw (“ah-HOW”) named Pakal the Great, this civilization built the Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque. 394-year periods known as baktun (“BAHK-toon”) are used in this civilization’s base-20 timekeeping, attested in books like the Dresden Codex. Popular misinterpretations of this civilization’s Long Count calendar sparked the idea that the world would end in 2012. For 10 points, which civilization built sites like Chichén Itzá (“CHEE-chen eets-HAH”) around the Yucatán Peninsula? ■END■
