Description
The ancient Maya were known for their amazing pyramids, elaborate writing system, and endeavors in mathematics and science. They also built magnificent cities, such as Tikal, Copán, and Palenque. The culture began to collapse when the Spanish invaded the region in the 1500s. Today, some of the cultural traditions and languages of the ancient Maya are carried on by their descendants in Mexico and Central America. This book explores the ancient Maya through social structure. It details the duties of a ruler, the activities of a farmer, and much more. It also describes some of the discoveries and writings that have led to our present-day understanding of this fascinating culture.
