Mayan archaeology

Mayan archaeology is the study of ancient Maya civilization through the excavation and analysis of their cities, temples, and artifacts in Central America. It reveals a sophisticated society known for advanced writing, art, mathematics, and astronomy. Archaeologists uncover structures like pyramids and palaces, Buddhist-like hierarchies, and glyph inscriptions that decode Maya history and beliefs. These findings help us understand their cultural practices, political systems, and reasons for decline around 900 AD. Ongoing research continues to shed light on their complex civilization, bridging past and present Maya communities and enriching our knowledge of pre-Columbian history.
