Why is it difficult for modern experts to translate some parts of the Mayan language? It's difficult for modern experts to translate some parts of the Mayan language because <u>the language is no longer spoken and it isn't used for writing. The Maya often destroyed cities when they were battling for new territory. The Spanish destroyed many of the artifacts with the keys to the Mayan language.</u> This began in 1981 when 15-year-old budding Mayanist David Stuart discovered that individual Maya words could be written in multiple ways, using different symbols for the same sounds, as in "faze" and "phase." Eric Thompson's theory had been that the Maya wrote in rebus. The hieroglyphic writing of the Maya has not been completely deciphered, however, and can still only be interpreted, rather than read. To date, nearly 85 percent of known Maya hieroglyphics have been decoded. The Mayan language is considered writing to be a sacred gift from the gods. I really hope this helps!! Have an amazing day <3
The European forces race each other to assert arrive in Southeast Asia since they craved the land for its key area along the ocean courses to China and their wellsprings of tropical agribusiness, minerals, and oil.
The following are the three thought processes behind the European race for the provinces:

This question refers to the text "An Apprenticeship Agreement from 1250" from the lesson <em>The Rise of Europe</em>.
In this text, we are able to see an agreement that was drafted between Ouede Ferconne and Matthew Haimart. In this agreement, Ferconne states that she agrees that her son Michael will become the apprentice of Haimart for four years in order to become a weaver. However, after two years, Ferconne will be able to legally purchase her son back.
There are several reasons why Ferconne might want to buy Michael back. Michael might not like the profession, and he might wish to change it. Moreover, Michael might be unhappy with Haimart. Michael might also believe that he has learned enough after two years, and that four are unnecessary. All of these reasons could lead Ferconne to purchase Michael back.
