The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Nature Screen
PBS Original NOVA Documentary “Cracking the Maya Code”


BREWSTER, MA ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster continues its Nature Screen 
monthly film series with PBS’ original Nova documentary; Cracking the Maya Code
Sunday, October 11, 2015 at 1pm.

The ancient Maya civilization of Central America 
left behind an intricate and mysterious 
hieroglyphic script, carved on monuments, painted 
on pottery, and drawn in handmade bark-paper 
books. For centuries, scholars considered it too 
complex ever to understand­until recently, when 
an ingenious series of breakthroughs finally 
cracked the code and unleashed a torrent of new 
insights into the Mayas' turbulent past. For the 
first time, NOVA presents the epic inside story 
of how the decoding was done­traveling to the 
remote jungles of southern Mexico and Central 
America to investigate how the code was broken 
and what Maya writings now reveal.

Join us every month for compelling, educational 
and visually stunning nature documentaries that 
inspire appreciation, curiosity and stewardship 
of our natural world and its inhabitants.
