Original Note:
It is an exaggeration to say Knorozov “single-handedly” cracked the Mayan language. He contributed vital research that Mayan glyphs were a syllabary, not an alphabet. He “made possible the modern decipherment of Maya hieroglyphic writing.” Knorozov was also born in Ukraine. https://archive.org/details/breakingmayacode0000coem
