Breaking the Maya Code (2008): Cast

The intricate hieroglyphic script of the ancient Maya remained one of the few undeciphered writing systems until recent breakthroughs. Drawing from Michael Coe’s bestselling book—praised by the New York Times as “one of the great stories of 20th‑century scientific discovery”—the documentary follows a two‑century, multinational quest that spanned nine countries and three continents to unlock its secrets.
