MEXICO, the Tro-Cortesianus or Madrid codex combines the codex Troano and Cortesiano: it is only one codex; Brasseur de Bourbourg facsimile (1869); Maya culture. The god Itzamna (symbol of Life and Death) sitting in front of a bag, a human foot is emerging out of it. Between the glyphs, lines and dots are numbers, often elements of the calendar. Glyphs are a writing system where certain glyphs express concepts, others syllables. This codex is made of horoscopes and calendars in order to assist the priests in their predictions and ceremonies.
