How did they develop complex architecture, sophisticated calendars and astrological concepts but never the written word?
They had ideographic writing systems
>>537291318Mostly what >>537291504 said, but it depends. Mayans -Eastern Mexico and north Central America- did use glyphs that meant sounds, so it was similar to hieroglyphs.
>>537291825Meanwhile, Mexica -central Mexico- used the ideographic system, so their codices were akin to simple picture books.
>>537291825I stand corrected. After some research, I believe this roughly translates to “No onions fan de Epstein, carnalNo onions fan de Cuties, carnalEsos lolicerdos son muy criminalEsos pinches adictosQue perra mamadaY es que algo me dice que Japón es cagadaPuro Epstein en Japón, quítate a la vergaAquí en México a las mujeres se las respeta”
If you're interested, one of your countrymen came to Mexico in the 1960's to study the Mayan culture (and then stayed to study Asia, of all things). His name is Lothar Knauth and I believe you can search for his early research on the Mayan people.

>>537291318The Dresden Codex is a Maya book originating from the region of Chichén Itzá in Mexico. It was believed to be the oldest surviving book written in the Americas, dating to the 11th or 12th century,[2] however in 2018 it was proven that the Maya Codex of Mexico, previously known as the Grolier Codex, is in fact older by about a century.[3] The codex was rediscovered in the city of Dresden, Germany, hence the book's present name. It is located in the museum of the Saxon State Library. The codex contains information relating to astronomical and astrological tables, religious references, seasons of the earth, and illness and medicine. It also includes information about conjunctions of planets and moons.[4]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Codex
