The priests advised the Mayas on how to please the gods. The people believed whatever the priests spoke was the will of the gods and the people willingly obeyed. The priests said the gods wanted many pyramids and temples. The people obeyed and built stone pyramids to honor the gods. The Mayas also believed they had to sacrifice humans to honor and keep peace with the gods. In this way, the priests had much control over the people.
