Mayans

The Aztecs were alive from approximately 1325-1521 AD.

~Hope that helped!!!!

mi don't know why math have to be so hard sometimes

The second largest Mayan city is copan By:gboy

Hunab Ku is the supreme god of Maya mythology.

Yes, for hundreds of years the Mayans used their only fresh water source as a kind of 'dump' for their sacrifices and corpses.

they usealliancesto build their empire by using them to agree to other city-states

As much as I know about your mom - alott !!

The Maya occupied a vast area covering southeast Mexico and the Central American countries of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador.

As civilization dawned on Americas, people shifted from old ways of hunting and gathering and embraced improved ways of doing agriculture and rearing livestock. They also adopted improved cultural systems and leadership styles in communities.

There is no direct answer to that, for the reason that the Maya were not one state, like the Aztecs. Instead, there loads of smaller kingdoms, all fighting for power, resources and control of the trade routes. The most famous of the Mayan kings was K'inich Janaab Pakal (otherwise known as Pakal the Great), who ruled the city of Palenque from 603AD to 671 AD. His tomb was found in 1952 by Alberto Ruz Lhuillier, a Mexican Archaeologist.

Autodesk Corporation's Maya is a 3D Modeling and Rendering program, similar to Lightwave, 3DS Max, Pixar's Renderman, and other professional 3D programs. Along with Renderman, it is considered one of the top programs in its class in the world, and arguably one of the top program in its class in the world. Many pictures have received Academy Awards for Visual Effects because their artists used Maya for the film. One of the most recent examples is the Oscar winning "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - it used Maya for its visual effects throughout the picture. King Kong was also the beneficiary of effects created by Maya.

In addition to 3D work, Maya is also used for Matte painting. Matte paintings are typically used in digital work for backgrounds.

Many special effects companies use Maya. More notable examples are Lucas film's Industrial Light and Magic, and Matte World Digital.

Autodesk has won a total of 5 Oscars itself from the Academy for significant contibutions to the Motion Picture industry. Last year, it won the Scientific and Technical Oscar for Maya's new Fluid Effects, which allow graphic artists to realistically design better fluid and gas effects on film.

Autodesk's achievements with Maya are not limited to movies - it has also received many awards from the Television and Broadcasting industries. As another person here pointed out, it is also used in the Gaming Industry for 3D game modeling and effects.

Maya is not on the list of cheap programs, even if you're a student. The full version runs close to $2000 or more depending on the version and what you get with it. However, you can download a trial version from the Autodesk site.

Simply put, it is not for the beginner or casual user. It is for those who are professional artists, working at the top of their craft. The same can be said for Renderman, as it has been used by Pixar Animation to create its Oscar winning movies over the years. Many people don't realize that Pixar was originally a Computer company started by George Lucas.

Many people who aren't familiar with 3D techniques start out with Autodesk's 3DS Max, a good program in its own right. While not as powerful as Maya, it does prepare users for the jump to the more complex Maya program.

While Maya isn't for beginners, there are many good training programs available if you're not going to get it in college. One of the better courses is at Lynda.com, which has online courses for most of the top media programs, including Adobe, Autodesk, Macromedia (before the merger - they still have the old courses available) and many programming language courses as well. Annual subscription runs about $400. So if you can swing the cash for Maya, training is accessible. Lynda.com now offers certification in each course completed as well.

Maya also needs pretty powerful equipment to run. Most notebooks or other systems with common ATI Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce chipsets aren't recommended for the 3D processing capability that Maya requires. The Autodesk site has specific requirements for systems to run Maya, and while they're not that steep, they're not that cheap either.

it started in 400BC and began to collapse in 900AD

Information recently gathered by archaeologists from the University of Texas seem to indicate that a series of volcanic eruptions may have scattered the Mayan civilization. Scattered them to the point of almost extinction.

By around 900 A.D., many Maya city-states in the southern lowlands, particularly in present-day Guatemala, experienced a significant decline, leading to a population shift. Some Maya people moved to the northern regions, including the Yucatán Peninsula, where cities like Chichen Itza and Uxmal became prominent. This migration was likely influenced by factors such as drought, resource depletion, and social upheaval.

The Mayans were skilled road builders and they were able to create one of the most advanced road systems.

The Mayans filed their teeth in ornamental patterns. Those of higher ranking had inlays of gemstones like emerald on their teeth. Men and women also adorned their bodies with various abstract designs.

they believed it was beautiful

Well, the Greeks went way before the civilization we call the Aztecs. If we wish to compare a western civilization with an eastern one like the greeks, we should look toward the Mayans or Olmecs.

the Mayans tribes lived the in southwestern region. i think : )

The further development of civilization and growth. Social structure was becoming more stratified because agriculture produced an abundance of food, many were able to focus on public works and specialized trades

Although the main contribution of the Inca was their architecture, they also contributed to many other things. They built many extensive road ways, bridges, and aqueducts that they constructed by themselves. They were also unique in their ways of governing conquered tribes, and they created extensive farming areas using terraces. They had fit large stones together to building their cities; There was no mortar needed and the structure could withstand earthquakes.

To get food or more supplies also to get a better and more accurate weapons and to get gold,silver,and jade.

They used different things from the nature. For example:Mayan women usually wear traje, which is a combination of a woven, multicolored blouse called Huipil or a corte, a woven wraparound skirt that reaches to the ankles, and is held together by faja (sash) at the waist, and plaited their hair in long tresses. Sandal were worn by both sexes. Tattoo and head-flattening were occasionally practised, and the face and body were always painted. The Maya, then as now, were noted for personal neatness and frequent use of both cold and hot baths.

It was a theocracy.
