keach: the son of the king was a maya scribe. here was a culture where literacy itself was a symbol of status. archaeologist bill sanders. sanders: the writing system i doubt was understood by more than 10% or 20% of the population. the rest of the population i am sure understood the meaning of the icons -- the carvings of gods the representations of the kings and the symbols that they carried on their dress headdress and so on. when they came here for the great public ceremonies, they would see these things and understand what they meant. keach: but for today's archaeologists the meaning of these symbols is more elusive. at copan, artist barbara fash directs the reconstruction of a building commemorated after the death of king 18 rabbit. the workers are guided by an ancient pattern on a surviving wall. how do scholars interpret patterns like this which don't contain specific information like dates or words ? if you look at the side of the building that was still in place, and you see the regular course of rock going horizontal.
