The Mesoamerican writing can be summarized as writing in sighs. Writing in signs is called glyphs. In the article I read it mentioned that there were 30 sounds in the language which can be written in 30 signs. Glyphs can be written on walls, wood, altars and much more. The Mesoamerican government is organized in state level. So there are people hier than some people and the list goes on to other higher people. It is said that, to gain political alliance, you need to be married through.The highest political leader was given the name ahau which is translated to lord or noble. Finally they believed in many Gods and blood sacrifices. An example is "
Hunab Ku was the creator god and the Old Woman Goddess, the patron god of death and destruction, held the bowl from which the deluges occurred"
