Mayans

Maya

they didn't. Publishers haven't published calender for 2011 yet. Do you think the world'll going to end in 2011. No.

They just ran out of their calender.

Besides, the whole calender ending stuff can be extended into 5000 more years.

All they were going to do when they reached "The great cycle" is to reset the calender and something of a massive ceremony.

they developed advanced mathematics and astronomy as well as system of writing

the Maya civilization began to collapse

the biggest building the mayans built was 20 storuies tall

no. not that much actually. if they were why did they cut peoples heads of who were the losers of a game.

yes

The Mayas lived in present day Honduras, Belize, Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador. But most now are living in Guatemala.

You're in Mr. Hawxhurst's K12 Geography class aren't you?

the hero twins they were called started the mayans but, later on one main family ruled unknown how the family was decided but the father was the "king" and once he pasted his eldest son who take over and no one else had a chance at taking the throne

The Mayan temples can reach up to about 47 meters high or 150 feet.

The Mayas honored their gods through various rituals and ceremonies, including offerings such as food, incense, and precious items like jade and gold. They also performed bloodletting, where rulers and nobles would draw blood to appease the gods and ensure agricultural fertility. Additionally, grand temple pyramids served as places of worship and were often the sites of important religious festivals. These practices reflected their deep reverence for the divine and the interconnectedness of their daily lives with their spiritual beliefs.

No. It was Julius Caesar who created the 365 day calendar, though it was 11 minutes off, which caused it to snow in the summer roughly in the 1600s.

You probably don't, but it's pretty obvious that there had to be peoples in the Americas a couple of thousand years before it was discovered by Europeans.

one.

The Mayan system is not hieroglyphs. The Mayans created a syllabary where each separate syllable has a symbol. The Cherokee also use a syllabary. The Japanese also use a syllabary. When a language uses a total of 90 or fewer sounds, a syllabary takes less time to learn than an alphabet. A 5 year old Cherokee child would learn to read and write in 4 months.

It is much easier for children to learn to read and write German and Spanish than it is to learn English and French. In German or Spanish, each letter has one sound. (Spanish has the exception that ll and y are pronounced the same. Also g has two sounds, however, both are only indicated by a g.)

Only 4 Mayan books have survived and nobody alive can fully understand them.

Mexico

they lived in New Mexico in 1800's and invaided and killed the colianist who settled in NM

Actually, that's not true. The Pueblo Indians are a group of Indians who live in special houses called pueblos. Or, they did back then. There are Pueblos still alive today, but they are modern (as in, have modern clothes, modern food, modern technologies). Back in the times before Texas and New Mexico were Texas and New Mexico (I.E. before they were states), the Pueblos would hunt, farm, and, among other things, fight with the Spanish. They would attack anyone who tried to TAKE their land or KILL another one of them, but if you were new and weren't in cahoots with a Spaniard enemy, they would welcome you in and learn about you.

The defining characteristics of the Maya are militarism (glorification of the military), human sacrifice, and the modern calendar

it included a number of independent city-states with competing rulers

Aztecs and Myans both are polytheistic, which means they both believe in many gods. Also, they both have sacrificial ceremonies where they give blood to the gods and kill enemy warriors that they have acquired from won battles.

The Maya civilization reached its height between about AD 250 and 900
