If it's Mayan, then those are not hieroglyphs.

Great read and an interesting story:

[Tax-chick]

The Maya writing system is correctly called “hieroglyphs,” that is, “sacred writing,” because, according to their own writings, they believe their writing system was given to them by the gods.

I have that book on request at the library right now. It might even arrive before I get there this afternoon.
