Maya Corpus

The entire Classic Maya hieroglyphic corpus in your pocket. Maya Corpus puts over 200,000 glyph blocks from thousands of inscribed monuments, ceramics, and objects at your fingertips — with lightning-fast search, advanced filtering, and full offline access. Whether you're in a university library or deep in the Petén jungle, every inscription is one tap away. INSTANT SEARCH Find any glyph block in milliseconds. Search by logosyllabic reading, Maya transcription, English translation, grapheme code, or semantic category — verbs, theonyms, toponyms, titles, and more. POWERFUL FILTERS Narrow results by site of origin, region, material, object class, date range, surface, and dozens of other fields. Stack multiple filters to build precise queries no other tool can match. DETAILED GLYPH CARDS Every block comes with its full reading, grapheme breakdown, dating (Long Count, Tzolkin, Haab, and Gregorian), provenance, object info, museum location, and high-resolution photographs and drawings. SIGN CATALOG Tap any graph code to instantly pull up the catalog entry — with reference image, logographic and syllabic values, Thompson number, and word class.
