The Codex Maya of Mexico (Codice Maya) Fully Explained, page-by-page. Formerly the Grolier Codex.

The Codice Maya de Mexico has one primary story, it records the complex movements of the planet Venus across its 4 cycles. The 10-pages codex records 65 complete Venus Cycles, which takes a total of 104 years.

The Codice Maya of Mexico was written in 1,110 CE by a single Mayan scribe. It is the oldest book in all the Americas. This video will translate this 900 year old Maya Codex, page-by-page.

The book was found in the 1960s by looters, and it's taken more than 50 years to analyze and authenticate this book. But this Mexican book is 100% real.

My mind is blown. The more I learn about the Maya the more in awe I am. Thank you for this truly mind expanding explanation

Thank you for bringing this out, and in such beautiful graphics, and exquisite context and The Spanish genocide of burning all the Mexican books so breaks my heart!!! Thank you for persisting. .... Among other researches, I read Michael Coe's book on Breaking the Maya Code, which is also, like yours, an authentic truthful story about the Maya language.

The best explanation of the Venus Cycle I've come across! I have a better understanding of Maya history and beliefs.

Thank you for contributing to the research of citizens everywhere. Let someone else tell your history and they will control you. We are the ones we have to protect our own history. Love and light to you all.

It is said the Maya cried out louder when De Landa burned their books then anything else. More then the destruction of idols, and temples, & the torments and tortures.

The reverance of their history and the mticulous nature in which they charted it. Millenia of history gone in just a few decades. I can only imagine what was lost forrever.
I know the Maya were huge nerds so I assume it was glorious.

You got me pumped for my visit to the museum tomorrow. Thank you very much! I still dont get exactly how this represents 104 years? Does it skip several years while going through the cycle? I want to be able to read the dates on the side, so I will focus on that.

Great video i was wondering what your thoughts are in regards to how this fits in with Mayan spiritually? What was the religious significance of Venus to them? Was it that the calendar determines transformation??

[jeremyarroyo]

This makes me upset all that information knowledge is gone that they burned. Besides that very good video.

[pachucotirili]

I didn't know this was housed at the Getty. Is that it's permanent home?
