An
emblem glyph is the “trademark” or name archeologists discovered, that gave
its name to a site. This emblem is the hieroglyphic name of Tikal.
Tikal was the first city-state to have an emblem glyph, a practice that
was then adopted by other city-states, much the way modern states have flags
today or companies have logos to differentiate themselves from others. Dr.
David Stuart, of Harvard University, recently read this glyph as the sound Mutul.
