German mathematician Joachim Rittstieg claims to have broken the secret code of the Mayans. According to him, in doing so, he will be able to find the location of a cache of gold in Guatemala.
The scientist told reporters that after forty years of effort he has finally been able to read one of four Mayan manuscripts that survived the fires of the Spanish Inquisition and which is stored in Dresden.
At the site of a vanished Mayan city there were kept 2,156 gold plates, on which were engraved the laws by which the ancient Indian civilization lived. The Plates weigh about 8 tons.
