writing has helped reveal the history of ancient sumer. in the heartland of the maya, another time capsule awaits discovery. what stories lie locked within these strange symbols ? decipherment of the maya glyphs began with the discovery of rare maya books, survivors of the tropical climate and the spanish conquest. archaeologist george stuart. stuart: this is a color facsimile of the dresden codex -- actual size, real colors. it's made on, like the others, on bark paper sized with lime plaster, on which the images were painted with fine hair brushes and pigment in about, oh, five or six different colors. keach: many of these books were discovered by the sixteenth century spanish. they were said to be filled with genealogies, prophesies and religious beliefs. but to the spanish conquerors, they were blasphemous. in 1562, bishop diego de landa ordered them destroyed. "we found a large number of books in these characters, "and as they contained nothing "in which there were not to be seen "superstition and lies of the devil, "we burned them al

we have almost 20 million --sumers andthe product consumers in that space, and the product, how to get structured. we are going to hang with it and we are big owners of the property, and we're going to work for a closely with them. i was a also one of the things we have been able to do both with hail and the rest of our content robberies as we just purchased gravity, the -- all of these are going to get more personal. >> what is hail going to do that aol could not do? >> hail is very focused on the community aspect of the product, which patch struggled with. we have great editors they're producing a lot of contents, but the focus on the technology for what hail is going to bring to the table, i think they're going to bring a faster way to restructure that product. >> just aa few more -- few more seconds, talk about a tie up with yahoo! >> we are already tied up with yahoo!. >> a further merger perhaps? >> that is above my pay grade. we are focused on turning aol around, and we had an olympic performance in q4, so that is what i am focused on right now. >> above his pay grade? he is the
