Archaeological excavations of Maya sites have turned up a number of rectangular lumps of plaster and paint flakes, most commonly in elite tombs. These lumps are the remains of codices where all the organic material has rotted away. A few of the more coherent of these lumps have been preserved, with the slim hope that some technique to be developed by future generations of archaeologists may be able to recover some information from these remains of ancient pages. ...

| | | | | Spanish conquest of Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Caste War of Yucatán - Background to the War In Spanish colonial times, Yucatán (like most of New Spain) was under a legal caste system, with officials born in Spain at the top, the Creoles of Spanish descent in the next level, followed by the Mestizo population, then the native "Hidalgos", descendants of the Pre-Columbian nobility who had collaborated with the Spanish conquest of Yucatán, and at the bottom were the mass of native Indios.
With independence there was much rhetoric of a new equality before the law, but little actually changed other than the Creoles taking over ...

As a youth he went to Ghent in the newly-independent Belgian state to study theology and philosophy.

| | | | | Spanish conquest of Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg - Discovery of de Landa's work In 1862 whilst searching through archives at the Royal Academy of History in Madrid for New World materials, he came across an abridged copy of a manuscript which had originally been written by the Spanish cleric Diego de Landa sometime around 1566. De Landa had been one of those charged with disseminating the Roman Catholic faith amongst the Maya peoples in Spain's new Central American possessions in the early period following the Spanish conquest of Yucatán, and had lived there for several years. His manuscript (Relación de las Cosas ...

| | | | | Spanish conquest of Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg - Travels and expeditions to Central America From 1848 to 1863 he travelled extensively as a missionary throughout many parts of Mexico and Central America.
On these journeys he gave great attention to Mesoamerican antiquities, and became well-versed in the then-current theories and knowledge about the history of the region, and the Pre-Colombian civilizations whose sites and monuments remained, yet were little understood.
Using information he had collected during his time spent travelling there, as well as that compiled by other scholars of his time, he published in 1857 ...

| | | | | | | Spanish conquest of Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg - Identification of Maya codex In 1866, Brasseur de Bourbourg had opportunity to examine an artefact in Madrid which was in the possession of a Spanish paleography professor named Juan de Tro y Ortolano, who had purchased it some six years earlier. This artefact was an old book, or codex, made from paper-bark in the form of a folded screen of continuous pages, several metres in length when extended. The codex contained numerous signs and drawings, which Brasseur de Bourbourg was readily able to identify as being Mayan in origi ...

His linguistic and archaeological fieldwork, as well as his diligent collection, discovery and republication of source materials proved to be highly useful for subsequent Mesoamerican researchers and scholars. The interpretations and theories he personally advanced mostly proved to be inaccurate.

In the 1950s the Yucatán was linked to the rest of Mexico by railway, followed by highway in the 1960s, ending the region's comparative isolation. Today the Yucatán still demonstrate ...
