Archaeologists think they’ve cracked the code to the ancient language of Teotihuacan, unlocking the lost voices of a vanished civilization. Mystery Of The Ages Welcome to the great mystery of the ancient city of Teotihuacan. Rising in the Valley of Mexico some fifteen hundred years ago, Teotihuacan remains one of the grandest archaeological sites in the Americas. Yet one of the biggest unanswered questions has been: what language did its people speak, and did they leave behind something like a writing system? According to a growing number of researchers, the answer is: yes. Recent reports claim that Teotihuacan did in fact possess a writing system, and that it may be decipherable. One study argues that the signs record an early language ancestral to Cora, Huichol, and even Nahuatl; if this checks out, it would signify a major shift in understanding Teotihuacan’s identity. According to new analyses, Teotihuacan’s signs appear to include logograms. What are logograms? They are symbols that represent whole words; images that represent sounds; and patterns of repetition that match linguistic, not just visually pleasant artistic, structures. Archaeologists think they’ve cracked the code to the ancient language of Teotihuacan, unlocking the lost voices of a vanished civilization.
