The Mayans had many incredible accomplishments over time. The Mayans built up an expansive and organized civilization in central America that has intrigued and amazed many people, from the Conquistadors to modern day scientists. The Mayans are famous for their astounding knowledge of astronomy and mathematics's. They made calenders that are as accurate as ours today. They also tracked astronomical events to a point of breathtaking accuracy. They had many complex cities, temples, and pyramids that sometimes mirrored the planets or stars. The Mayans are also famous for creating the Long Count calendar that started all the 2012 Propaganda. The myth of the city of gold called El Dorado also originates from the Mayans but no such city has ever been found. Still today many people do not know much about the Mayans because their civilization died out very suddenly, most traces of their language have disappeared or been destroyed overtime, and many of their cities have disappeared within the jungle or are hard to reach. Hope this helps! My sources are History, Discovery, and National Geographic networks.
