Läsuren; vorderes Vorsatz nachgedunkelt. - Englisch. - Sir John Eric Sidney Thompson (* 31. Dezember 1898 in London; 9. September 1975 in Cambridge) war ein britischer Anthropologe und wird als einer der Pioniere der Maya-Forschung betrachtet. Nach ihm ist die sogenannte Thompson-Korrelation benannt - eine Korrelation zwischen dem Maya-Kalender der klassischen Zeit und dem Gregorianischen Kalender. Bei der Entzifferung der Maya-Schrift galt Thompson lange Zeit als Gegenspieler von Tatiana Proskouriakoff und Juri Knorosow, die wesentliche Grundlagen zu Datierungsfragen bzw. zur Entzifferung der Maya-Schrift gelegt hatten. Da er Knorosows Forschungsergebnisse als marxistische Propaganda bezeichnete, diskreditierte Thompson Knorosows Arbeit, indem er Schwächen in dieser Arbeit nutzte, um das gesamte Werk als falsch abzutun. Dies führte dazu, dass die Entdeckungen Knorosows im Westen mehrheitlich nicht akzeptiert wurden. Nach Thompsons Tod setzten sich Knorosows Annahmen jedoch allmählich durch und bildeten die Grundlage für die weiteren Entzifferungen des Maya-Schriftsystems. Im Jahr 1959 wurde er zum Mitglied (Fellow) der British Academy gewählt. (wiki) // INHALT (Auszug) : .
