Mayans

Mayan culture and civilization are said to be far beyond their time by their complex writing and numerical system. In the pre-Columbian America, the Mayan writing system is said to be the “only” true writing system within the Americas. By examining the environment the Maya had lived, we are able to look at the how the Maya used their writing system and it also further reflects the Maya’s surroundings. The Mayan civilization had flourished throughout the Yucatan peninsula in Central America. They

Maya. Aside from the Mayans’ brutal sacrifices and rituals, their religion and civilizations were quite sophisticated. The Mayan religion was mainly polytheistic, meaning they believed in multiple gods, while Christianity is a monotheistic religion, meaning the belief in one God. The Mayan people also believed in the afterlife, or life after death, and religion and science are near identical. In Christianity, religion and science are very elaborate together.

The Mayans were legendary for their skill in mathematics. The Mayans created the concept of zero! They made zero because they said zero is the meaning of nothing. As you can tell, we still use zero a lot in present day so that was very important in our history. To add on in the math subject they had calendars. They put hieroglyphics(symbol that means a word), on days to say it was a good day or bad or a ceremony day or anything else. For making the calendars their priests studied the moon and stars

The Mayan were very creative, self-straining, and knowledgeable. That is why I think their greatest achievement was Art. The Mayans had a lot of free-time. This explains all of the art that they created. The greatest achievement of the Maya was art. The Artwork of the Maya was the Mayans’ greatest achievement. I’m sure there are many more achievements, but their Art was their most important. They had many pieces of art due to their large amounts of free-time. The Mayan Artwork was very pulchritudinous

The Mayans Maya was a longest lasting, great Mesoamerican civilisation settled through southern Mexico, Guatemela, northern Belize and western Honduras. There wasn’t a single Mayan state so they didn’t have a central ruler of their empire. It consisted of many independent city states. Each city had it’s own king and noble class supported by smaller cities, villages and farms. Palenque, Tikal, Copán and Calakmul were the major cities. Mayans were superior in agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing

accomplished many remarkable achievements that intrigued us all. Among the remarkable achievements of the Maya I believe the Mayan trade network were the most remarkable. Other than the Mayan trade network there was the Mayan calendars, the Mayan city, and the Mayan number system. These achievements were remarkable as well as the Mayan trade network.

The Mayan culture utilizes traditional and holistic medical practices well outside the scope of modern technological and medical advances. Their heavy use of plant life as a medicinal cure for a variety of ailments allows modern medical practitioners to experiment with their incorporation into mainstream medical cures. Hernân Garcia, Antonio Sierra, and Gilberto Balam (1999) discuss the Mayan view of the physical body in relation to their spiritual roles in the universe, as well as Mayan medicinal

(2005). The Mayans were an advanced race starting that had a peak population of an estimated 12 million. Although in a small time almost 90% of the population died from an unknown cause which stumps even the best archaeologists today. Although there are many theories of how the Mayans quick demise happened (for example; war, deforestation) these are all far fetched compared to one of the most evident theories, drought. Drought is obviously the most evident theory to why the Mayans died off so quickly

The Collapse of the Ancient Mayan Civilization The collapse of the Mayan civilization is one of history’s great mysteries. There are many theories as to what happened to the Mayan civilization, but no individual theory can be agreed upon by experts. Some people believe that the collapse was a result of a civil war. This theory is based upon evidence proving that warfare had intensified and increased prior to the collapse (Cartwright, 2015). Furthermore, the presence of many arrow heads at certain

Mayans earned many great achievements, including monuments and temples.They also built pyramids, palaces, and observatories. Their largest temple, named Chichen Itza, forms a unique shadow. When the sun is aligned in the right spot, which is only in spring and fall, it forms a serpent’s body, and when the sun sets, the serpent appears to slither up the earth. Their language might even involve that serpent as a hieroglyphic symbol. The Mayans wrote in hieroglyphics ad were known for having one of
