Mayans

The Maya civilization was an advanced society that thrived in Mesoamerica, particularly in present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras, from around 2000 BCE to the 16th century. Renowned for their impressive architectural achievements, such as pyramids and temples, the Maya developed a sophisticated writing system, advanced mathematics, and a detailed calendar. Their society included city-states ruled by kings and was rich in culture, art, and astronomy. While the civilization declined in the late 1st millennium, many descendants still live in the region today, preserving their cultural heritage.
