Sylvanus Griswold Morley

    Sylvanus Griswold Morley byl americký archeolog a přední mayský učenec. V první polovině 20. století významně přispěl ke studiu předkolumbovské mayské civilizace prostřednictvím rozsáhlých vykopávek a publikací o mayském písmu. Ačkoli byly jeho teorie později přehodnoceny, jeho práce, zejména o kalendářních nápisech, jsou dodnes citovány. Morleyho nadšení a podpora projektů odhalily mnohé o starověkých Mayích a inspirovaly budoucí generace badatelů.
