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.

The Mayas are the people who lived a long time ago and they had to build their own houses out of clay.

The Mayas were an ancient civilization that were very smart and lived near what is now called the Gulf of Mexico at around 900 b.c. and started disappearing and no one knows why.

the Mayas were Indians from along time ago... they made stone pyramids ans other things.

Yucatan Mexico just 2 hours west of Cancun, between Cancun and Merida.

they invented terrace walls which helped them farm

K'inich B'alam was the very first ruler of the Mayan civilization. Although this is true, he only ruled one area of the ancient civilization

Because of the region the Mayan city was found, it is believed that the Mayan climate was a tropical region. So they lived in jungle.

The climate is usually humid, like the rain forest.

It has been postulated that the downfall of the Mayan civilization might have been due to climate change and droughts.

There were 24 hours in Mayan day. Their calendars were surprisingly accurate. They were used for agriculture and other important functions.

They were both polytheistic and were affected by geopolitics.

They performed on pyramids because the pyramids were extremely religiously important. Mayan priests performed religious ceremonies, maybe pok-a-tok(the Mayan version of basketball) and especially sacrifice, including human.

The following (From is more about cacao as a source of chocolate drink, but it does indicated that cacao beans were used by Mayans as currency. 250 to 900 CE • Classic Maya Civilization Cacao beans were used throughout Mesoamerica as currency, but the artefacts that survive from the golden age of the Maya suggest that the consumption of chocolate was, as for most of its subsequent history, restricted to the society's elite. This literate civilization appears to have once had entire libraries of books, although only four survived the Spanish occupation (the Spanish arrived and decided it was a good idea to burn all the books). In two of those, mention cacao often, as does the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Quiché Maya of Guatemala, which was transcribed into the Spanish alphabet shortly after the Europeans arrived (but does not survive in the original). The tombs of Maya nobility have been found to contain pottery vessels bearing the hieroglyph for cacao and depictions of the process of its preparation. Analysis of the traces of their contents indicates that they probably contained the drink. This evidence doesn't provide a real way to know all the forms in which the Maya consumed chocolate, but it seems to have been most common as a drink. The drink was made by mixing the roasted, ground cacao beans with water, flavouring it with herbs or spices (chilli was common) and then agitating the mixture until foamy by pouring it from one vessel to another. One of the variations might have involved adding honey to chocolate, but the Maya did not commonly sweeten the drink, as we do now almost without exception
