Classic Maya period

The Classic Maya period, from roughly 250 to 900 AD, was a time of remarkable cultural and technological development for the Maya civilization in present-day Mexico and Central America. During this era, the Maya built impressive cities with grand temples, palaces, and complex calendars. They advanced in mathematics and astronomy, creating a written language and making significant artistic achievements. The society was organized into city-states, each ruled by its own king. The period ended with a mysterious decline, possibly due to factors like warfare, environmental changes, or societal issues, but the Maya legacy continues to influence the region today.
