The Mayans

They built vast cities, majestic temples and palaces and filled them with explanations of their history and beliefs, carved in stone. They developed a language, a calendar and complex social systems that brought order to the chaos of their jungle home. They even turned their eyes to the heavens to try to make sense of the Universe.

The Mayans were the first and one of the most important pre-Hispanic civilizations in the Americas. At the time of the Spanish conquest, the area occupied by the Maya covered all or part of Mexico (the sates of Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Yucatan), Belize, Guatamala, sections of El Salvador and western Honduras.
