According to the aztec calendar in what year will the world end?
The calender doesn't indicate the end of the world... it means the calender is ending, not the world.
Imagine a thousand years from now, someone digs up your home, and finds that your computers calender wouldn't work after 3020 due to some programming bug... would that mean the world ends at 3020, or that at the time no one bothered with a calculating issue that was 1000 years off?

How many characters were in the Mayan language?
They didn't have a written language per sae. They used a form of pictograph like many early civilizations. This is why history sometimes misinterpret their intended meanings.
Do you know how the Mayan civilization declined?
Yes. Disease wiped out most of them (as was true with most native populations in America after Europeans came), along with political conflicts with the neighboring Aztecs that were inflamed by Spanish interference in the area.
Did the Maya the Aztec or the Inca have a writing system?
I know the Inca did not have a writing system, but they did have a speaking language/system. I do not know about the Mayas and the Aztecs. I am researching them.
What is the time period of the Mayans?
Despite the popular term Maya Empire, the Mayas did not have an Empire. In fact, archaeologists use the term Maya civilisation, not empire.
The features of Mayan expansion are uncertain because the archaeological material is insufficient to give a clear picture. It seems that they originated from an area of the lowlands on the Atlantic coast around the borders between Mexico, Guatemala and Belize and then expanded to the highlands along the pacific coast a bit further north in Mexico and into the nearby Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
It is not known whether this expansion involved the conquest of other peoples. The extent of the early Mayan territory is also uncertain and there are disputes among experts. Moreover, Mayan expansion had two phases. The first was territorial spread, which might have been due more to population growth and migration, rather than a design of conquest. In fact, the Maya did not have a unified state under one ruler. They had a collection of independent city-states which were liable to (and did) fight each other.
The second phase of expansion was urbanization within the areas mentioned above. The older settlements grew into sizeable cities and new settlements appeared which also grew into large cities.
The earliest archaeological finds date to what archaeologists have called the Early Preclassic Period (2000-1,000 BC). The earliest finds in the Mexico/Guatemala/Belize Atlantic lowlands date to 1,800 BC. The earliest finds on the highlands along the Pacific coast in southern Mexico date to 1,500 BC. The earliest find in the south of the peninsula of Yucatan date to 1,200 BC, and that on the northern coast of this peninsula date to the 8th century BC. The first phase of urbanisation occurred in the Middle Preclassic Period (1000 BC-400 BC) particularly in the 6th century BC. This period saw an alternation of city-states trying to achieve dominance over the others states. The Classical Period (c. AD 250-900) saw the peak of urbanisation, the largest size of the Mayan cities and the apex of Mayan civilisation. Then there was the collapse of the Classical Period, in which the towns of the southern lowlands, which had been declining in the 8th and 9th centuries, were abandoned. The reason for this is not known. The monumental inscriptions and the construction of large buildings ended. In the Postclassical Period (from the 10th to the early 16th century) Maya civilisation continued in the northern cities and it came under a variety of external influences.
The Mayans and anyone else who took over there customs. And those people are
the not Spanish or the French. I think no one did because the Mayan civilization dissapeared remember? What grade are you in? TYhe Mayans used the mayan numbers no one else. I mean we could but that could take a lot of studying so i guess everyone who had a chance to.
Oh and if this is for a paper, don't go on these websites. They don't give you revalent information. Crack open a book and go on a website that doesn't say .com because that means the government controls it. Nott actual people who can just make a random website. Be smart and so the right thing and read a bool.
YOUR WELCOME. YOU CAN THANK ME LATER... IF YOU CAN
When was the chichen itza founded?
Chichen Itza shows evidence of being build around 600AD.
Most publications say 800 AD. A tour of the inside passage reveals a change of construction which would be a smaller pyramid enlarged. Thus using scripture Bible Genesis it would appear that of the Capricorn Venus (Shem-Ramis) of Shem-Melchizedek's death in 1868bc and the Sagittarius Venus (Semiramis Dove sitting in the arrows) of Noah-Melchizedek's death in 2021bc that the first pyramid was built from 362-360bc. This is based on the fact that the secondary lesser epoch 3374bc (Spinden & Morley) is 1508 haab (1507 Gregorian) years before Shem's death so that double or 3016 haab (3014 Gregorian) would span 3374- 360bc the same way Mayan Noah's Flood 3114bc to 100bc (Thompson) as 58 calendar rounds when using a 584-day Venus, Understand that an actual Venus 583.92 days is 2 days less every 40 years and will cycle in 1506 Gregorian years and 3012. This is why 1868-362bc G.Dec 17. However, revival is all over Meso-America in 800 AD as it was in Catholicsm (Greek Adam 5200bc to year 6000 in 800 AD). Though Mayan Adam is 5370bc, the year 800 AD is sidereal Venus Semiramis (Sagitarius) as 12 x 235 year Venus from 2021bc Dec 25 (G.Dec 8). The sidereal 235-year Venus advances about 2 Julian dates per cycle so these 12 cycles advance about 24 days forward from 800ad Dec 25 when the Pope crowned France. Thus the Kukulkan Pyramid was built in 362bc to await the return of Shem-Melchizedek, but it was enlarged in 800 AD to await the return of his father Noah-Melchizedek.
Why did the Mayans do human sacrifices?
the Aztecs made the human sacrifices because they believe that is what they had to do to make their around 300 gods happy.
they would kill them and then take the heart of the human sacrifice out right away and hold it up to the sun for the gods and then throw it at a picture of the god.
people were willing to be the sacrifices because they felt it was an honour to die for their gods.
How long did the Maya civilization survive?
The Maya started before recorded history. The last records show of it starting before 1500 BC. Over six million Maya still exist today, so the Maya never actually disappeared, nor the civilization actually died.
