Question

T/F:mesoamerican civilizations like the olmec developed a hieroglyphic writing system which, like mayan, has recently been translated

Answer 1

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

While Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya did develop a hieroglyphic writing system that has been largely deciphered in recent years, the Olmec civilization did not have a true hieroglyphic writing system. The Olmec used a form of symbolic writing that has not been fully deciphered and is not considered to be a true writing system like those developed by the Maya or the Aztecs. So, the statement that the Olmec developed a hieroglyphic writing system which, like Mayan, has recently been translated is false.
