THE DRESDEN CODEX The Dresden Codex is an ancient Mayan book dating as far back as the 13th or 14th century. It was rediscovered in the city of Dresden, hence the book’s present name. Only four Mayan manuscripts are known to still exist worldwide, of which this is the oldest and best preserved. The Dresden Codex comprises 78 pages of Mayan hieroglyphics, numerals and figures which provide accurate astronomical tables, ritual and divination calendars, calculations of the phases of Venus, eclipses of the sun and moon, instructions relating to New Year ceremonies, and descriptions of the locations of the Rain God, which culminate in a full-page miniature showing a great deluge. The codex has played a key role in the deciphering of Mayan hieroglyphics and the understanding of the Mayan Calendar. In addition to the Dresden Codex you'll also receive five other ancient South American manuscripts each of which has been scanned in high quality and preserved forever in pdf format - easy to read on your laptop or computer, or transfer to tablet, smartphone, kindle or e-reader.

In these books, scribes faithfully recorded centuries of Maya history, astronomical calculations, and religious practices. Some of the Maya codices even recorded travel and hunting details.
