I thought it was actually the Aztecs who killed the Maya; the Aztecs to be killed, themselves, in due course by the Spanish.
Nobody spoke Spanish in "ancient" Maya. The Maya did not encounter Spanish until the 1500s, and "Maya" refers to a tribe, not a place.
When the Spanish arrived, the Maya initially welcomed them peacefully, but as the Spanish began to impose their rule and convert them to Christianity, many Maya groups rebelled and fought against Spanish conquest. This ultimately led to the downfall of the Maya civilization in the 16th century.
She killed it.
ladinos are either of mixed Maya and spanish ancestry
no
so Alison killed Maya but why because of Emily or what i am so crazy to know tell me please. ________________________________________________________________ Alison didn't kill Maya... it was "Nate". He killed Maya because, I believe, he was jealous and angry with the fact that Maya had found someone else (Emily) and he felt as if he was played...
The Maya actually saw the "end" of their civilization. The Maya still are a large community, about 40 million people. This is only a small change, since there are millions more in Los Angeles. However, if you are referring to the Spanish conquest, there wasn't one. There was only one battle, then the Maya prevailed. The Spanish all gathered around Cortez trying to kill Tecum umam, but he gave his life so that the Spanish would be killed from behind by his warriors.
No one knows why the Maya Disappeareither 1) the spanish killed them off2)not enough supplies3)disease
When the Spanish came with the decimal number system, they replaced the Maya number system throughout the region. So the people of that region stopped using the Maya system and started using the decimal system of the Spanish.
The decline of the Maya civilization began well before European contact, primarily due to internal factors like warfare and environmental changes. However, when Europeans, particularly the Spanish, arrived in the early 16th century, they engaged in conquests that severely impacted the Maya. Notably, the Spanish conquest of the Yucatán Peninsula began in 1517, leading to violent conflicts and the eventual subjugation of many Maya communities. The effects of colonization, including disease and warfare, further decimated the Maya population over the following centuries.
The Maya Indians faced many suppression of their cultural heritage since the Spanish conquest in the early 1500s which includes having their land seized by the Spanish, being forced to convert to Christianity and Spanish laws forbade the Maya Indians to speak and write in their native language.
