Gunckel's groundbreaking study of American hieroglyphs challenges traditional Eurocentric interpretations of ancient Mayan and Aztec texts. He argues that American cultures developed their own unique system of pictographic communication that is distinct from the hieroglyphic writing systems of ancient Egypt and the Near East. Drawing on a diverse range of sources, including ethnographic fieldwork and archival research, Gunckel presents a compelling case for the importance of understanding American hieroglyphs as a unique and valuable record of indigenous American intellectual and cultural traditions.

Excerpt from The Study of American Hieroglyphs Bishop Landa's signs for the twenty days which occur so frequently in the ancient Mayas Codices are supposed by many students to have been reproduced in far similo on the graven texts of the mural inscriptions, and many writers have pointed out certain resemblances of the day signsin the codices to those on the sculptures, such as [miss C/znon, Ezanab, otc. Prof. Valentini has pursued this investigation further than any predecessor, and the results obtained are of inestimable value to the student. We fully believe that every additional point of evidence in this abstruse and com plicated study will be of Value to the future investigator; and there'is little doubt, but that the ultimate results of untiring and long continued analysis of these glyph forms, will culminate in a broader and more comprehensive-under standing of these hitherto mysterious hieroglyphic inscrip tions. Many'students are of the opinion that the signs for the days are oftentimes to be 'iooked upon as rebuses, and that they do not tell us the name given the day. -when used in this way they believe that they are merely the pict ure of some familiar visible object, whose name is somewhat similar to the name of the day, and which recalls it to the mind. Therefore it is essential to discriminate between those used in their Calendar significance, and those used as rebuses. The glyphs of the various days occur quite fre quently on the tablets, monuments and mural inscriptions; so often in fact, as to make one inferthat they must be chro nological or calendar records of some kind. Some day signs occur many times in each inscription, while others are found very seldom, and in an abbreviated or. Changed form. They are'almost always accompanied by numeral prefixes, com posed of bars and dots at'the left side of each glyph. Some also have numeral superfixes, and others have both forms of numerals attached-to the same glyphs; or in other words, have a double set of numerals, as with Claim and sometimes About.

How the discovery of the Rosetta Stone led to new ways of thinking about language: “A brilliant new interpretation of major 19th-century American writers.” —J. Hillis Miller The discovery of the Rosetta Stone and the subsequent decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics captured the imaginations of nineteenth-century American writers and provided a focal point for their speculations on the relationships between sign, symbol, language, and meaning. Through fresh readings of classic works by Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville, John T. Irwin’s American Hieroglyphics examines the symbolic mode associated with the pictographs. Irwin demonstrates how American Symbolist literature of the period was motivated by what he calls “hieroglyphic doubling,” the use of pictographic expression as a medium of both expression and interpretation. Along the way, he touches upon a wide range of topics that fascinated people of the day, including the journey to the source of the Nile and ideas about the origin of language.
