THE MAYANS: A Civilization's Biopic - By SimoTheFinlandized / Paul Palazzolo - 2022 CE | ============================ THE MAYANS: A Civilization's Biopic - By SimoTheFinlandized / Paul Palazzolo - 2022 CE ============================ The Mayan civilization was a highly-advanced ancient Mesoamerican civilization that existed in and dominated much of Central America, in particular, the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. The Mayans lived there for a very long time, and some of the Maya people still live in the region even today. ============================ The Mayans first arose around 4,000 years ago (about 2000 BC). At that time, complex societies were living in the Maya region. The staple foods of the Mayan diet was cultivated. Their food included maize, beans, squashes, and chili peppers. The first Mayan cities developed around 750 BC. The Maya people used both a written language and a numeral system. They were very good at art and building, and Their priests studied both the stars and planets, which helped them make accurate calendars. ============================ The Maya civilization was at its largest between the years of 420 AD and 900 AD. The Mayan civilization at that time spread all the way from central Mexico to Honduras, Guatemala, and even northern El Salvador. It is estimated that at its maximum, the civilization had at least ten million people. The Maya people traded with other people in the Americas. Their art and buildings have many different styles. This shows they traded a lot. They made changes to their buildings to make them even better. The Maya civilization started to decline after 900 AD. ============================ The Spanish Conquistadors arrived in the 15th century and took over Mexico and later Central America, even in the Mayan areas. However, the Maya people still live there today. They live in the same areas the Mayan civilization used to live in. They keep the old Mayan traditions and beliefs. There are many Mayan languages still spoken today, including one called the Achi language. A play called Rabinal Achi is considered important. ============================ SOURCES: Simple English Wikipedia (Mayan Civilization) ============================ | image tagged in simothefinlandized,maya,native american,civilization,essay,world history | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
