So there are parts of some of the glyphs, some of the death glyphs.
So there's lots of different death glyphs.
And as you said, I'm sort of a death specialist, right?
There's many different ways that they talk about dying, and one of the reasons why there are so many different glyphs for death is because the ancient Maya, just to sort of blow your mind, didn't believe in one soul.
They believed in lots of them, and they escape the body at different times when you die, almost certainly.
So there's one that's kind of residing in your head, and another one maybe in your liver, another one maybe in your heart, something like that.
We know the Aztecs had this, where the Aztecs, they believe when you die, it's a whole bunch of things, right?
Um, as a sidebar, there's this one Aztec soul.
Um, it's really sad.
It lives in your liver and it's, it's, uh, it's like your bile, like your angry, like soul, whatever.
Um, when it, when you die, it actually has to go around and find every piece of you that ever you ever left behind in your life and pick it up.
So like toenail clippings and hair and all sorts of stuff.
It's kind of a sad soul.
It's gonna walks around.
It's almost a ghost, right?
It's almost like this thing that's like, you know, just like unfinished business kind of, kind of character.
Anyway, so there are these glyphs, the glyphs for death, and there's a part of one of the glyphs for death that we can't read, and I wish we could.
It drives me crazy.
