If I had to live in one of the three civilizations- Maya, Inca, or Aztec- I would choose Maya. The Maya had a very simple number and math system. I’m not very good at math, so I would enjoy math much more if I could use the Mayan number system. The Mayan also had a diet mainly consisting of plants like maize. I do like meat, but I could definitely live without it. Plus I really do enjoy fruits and vegetables. They also had this ball game called pok-a-tok. Though it was used for religious purposes, children and adults still used it as a game for entertainment, and I think that it sounds as if it was very nice entertainment.

There are three specific Native American groups, the Mayans, the Incas, and the Aztecs. However, this essay zooms into 2 main groups, the Mayans and the Incas.
