Ancient Mayan cities

Ancient Mayan cities were sophisticated centers of civilization in Central America, notable for their impressive architecture, including pyramids, temples, and palaces. These urban hubs, such as Tikal and Chichen Itza, thrived between 250 and 900 AD, serving as political, religious, and economic hubs. They featured complex urban planning, advanced knowledge of astronomy, and written language, evidenced by hieroglyphs. Mayan cities were interconnected through trade and alliances, reflecting their cultural and political importance. These vibrant cities declined around the 10th century, but their archaeological remains continue to reveal their remarkable achievements and social organization.
