Cracking the Maya Code is a 2008 NOVA documentary that explores how linguists and archaeologists deciphered one of history’s most complex writing systems. For centuries, the intricate hieroglyphic script of the ancient Maya civilization remained a mystery, with Spanish colonization nearly erasing all knowledge of how to read it. This program follows the experts who made breakthrough discoveries that finally unlocked the code, revealing a dramatically different picture of Maya society than previously understood. Rather than peaceful cities governed by mystical priests, the decoded texts expose a world of warfare, conquest, and dynastic conflict spanning centuries.

This single-disc DVD release runs 55 minutes and is presented in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby stereo audio. The WGBH production carries a not-rated designation and includes closed captions and described video for the visually impaired, along with educator materials and scene selections. You’ll get a used copy of this archaeological documentary at a fraction of what a new one costs.
