Sorry for this project being on hiatus lol
Okay, interesting discovery today, went on wikipedia to look up Mayan stuff because I was bored, particularly this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_scriptI scroll to the bottom and find this picture:

You can see it at the very top of it, unmistakably similar to the glyph I was trying to decipher last year (yes, I burned it into my mind

)!
Alright, so here's the story, the glyph is part of an inscription to commemorate the reign of king Itzamnaaj K'awil. Very incredible and wished to learn more about it. Let's hit up the Harvard website and see what they know about Stela 10 (name of the stone the glyphs are on
https://www.peabody.harvard.edu/cmhi/detail.php?num=10&site=Naranjo&type=StelaYou get more detailed information about the stone and what it's about. You also get a cool flash thing that lets you compare the picture and drawing of the rock, both of which are in better quality for some reason, so I reconstructed it for this thread.

That's more clearer than the original, let's see what the drawing is like.

Very unfortunate, the glyphs were apparently eroded enough that perhaps my previous conclusions about them were wrong.

What do you guys think? Some parts don't seem to match up, but reflecting on the past source images found, and the fact that these glyphs are indeed eroded, I wouldn't put it past the artist tracing this to make a slight deviation or two.
