Mesoamerican culture

Mesoamerican culture refers to the complex societies that developed in parts of modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras before European contact. Notable civilizations include the Maya, Aztec, and Olmec. They shared achievements in agriculture, astronomy, and mathematics, and are known for their impressive architecture, including pyramids and temples. Mesoamericans practiced polytheistic religions, honoring numerous gods connected to nature and agriculture. They had advanced writing systems, such as the Maya hieroglyphs, and engaged in trade, art, and vibrant festivals. The legacies of Mesoamerican cultures continue to influence the region's identities and traditions today.
