Mayan Hieroglyphs for Kids

In this video, you’ll learn about Mayan hieroglyphics—an ancient writing system used by the Maya people. The Maya lived long ago in parts of Mexico and Central America. They built big cities, pyramids, and were great at math and science. To record their history, they used symbols called hieroglyphics. These symbols stood for words, sounds, or ideas. The Maya carved them into stone, painted them on walls, and wrote them in books made of bark. For a long time, people couldn’t read the hieroglyphics, but today, scientists and historians are learning more and more. This video explains how the writing worked and why it was important. It’s told in a fun and simple way just for kids. Come explore the world of the Maya and their amazing writing system!
