No. Mayans did not have books. (They had writing, but it was carved in stone, not written on paper.)
If Mayans did have books, the Spaniards likely would have burned them for containing blasphemies.
Examples of literary artifacts include ancient scrolls, medieval manuscripts, first edition books, author's handwritten notebooks, and typewriters. These artifacts provide valuable insights into the writing process, historical contexts, and the lives of authors.

We know about the myths told about the creation of the Inca Empire mainly through the written accounts of Spanish conquistadors who encountered the Inca civilization. These accounts were written during and after the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire in the 16th century. Additionally, there are also some surviving oral traditions and accounts passed down among the indigenous peoples of the Andean region that provide insights into the creation myths of the Inca Empire.
History and archaeology books can be found at local bookstores, libraries, online retailers such as Amazon or Book Depository, and specialized online bookstores that cater specifically to these subjects. Additionally, academic institutions and museums often have bookshops or resources where one can purchase books on history and archaeology.
Yes, Incas still alive today. I'm an Inca. Only Europeans say their extinct because if they claim that the original inhabitants are extinct then there's no one to claim the land, and European want to claim the lands. Mostly all books the teach people about history are through European's eyes.
no one knows it is a mystery because the Spanish burned all codices (books of the Mayans everyday life) except 3 . if they didn't we would know why.
The Spanish thought that the writings of the Mayans were dangerous. They burned almost all of the books that contained Mayan writings.
The Spanish were catholic and thought the Mayans were savages and less than human. So they thought that the books that the Mayans kept about their history and their religion (called codices) were savage also. When the Spanish started invading around the 16th century, many of them were destroyed. Only four of these sacred books remain today. The system of writing was retained by some Mayans who converted to Catholicism and taught others in secret. The writing remained on giant stone slabs called stelae, which were similar to codices.
