A person from the Mayan culture would ask two questions about the pictures on our money: 1) Who are the people depicted and what is their story? 2) What gods or religious symbols can be seen in the images and what do they represent? They would be curious to understand the meaning and significance of the visual representations in the same way we analyze Mayan artwork and symbols.
