Maya archaeological sites

Maya archaeological sites are ancient cities and ruins built by the Maya civilization, which thrived in Central America from around 2000 BCE to 1500 CE. These sites feature impressive structures like pyramids, temples, palaces, and ball courts, reflecting their advanced knowledge of architecture, astronomy, and hierarchy. Notable sites include Tikal, Palenque, and Copán. They reveal insights into Maya society, religion, and politics, often decorated with intricate carvings and murals. Archaeologists study these sites to understand the civilization's history, achievements, and eventual decline, helping us appreciate the complexity and legacy of the Maya people.
