Not a fan of the framing of the article. Firstly, there are millions of Mayans alive today, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_peoples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_peoples and secondly, the reason why the pre-Colombian cultural texts and script are not in use today, even by the people who speak the 28 Mayan languages currently in use, is because of genocide by Columbus and those that followed. The Catholic church destroyed every piece of Mayan script they could get their hands on. The article reads like the author is not aware of these basic facts of American geography and history.
