This is taken from Before the Pharoahs by Edward F. Malkowski. He tells about Augustus Le Plongeon who lived in the 1800′s who among other things learned to speak Mayan by working with them for 12 years at various Mayan ruins. He took the Greek alphabet and matched up the Mayan words to the syllables that make up the Greek letters, and listed their definition in story form. He believes the story is about the sinking of Atlantis. This alphabet definitely tells an interesting story…

Imagine if you wanted to pass down a story. A story so big you didn’t want it ever to be forgotten. If you embedded the story into something so basic as an alphabet from which an entire language is formed… it would never be forgotten. It might get lost for a few thousand years, but it would always be there for someone to find at a later date. What is one of the first thing you learn as a child? The alphabet. Do you know where “a, b, c…” comes from? I have no clue. Maybe it’s time to examine that…
