Mayans
The Mayan civilization was spread through what is now Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, western Honduras, and the southern regions of Mexico. The Mayans are well known for creating the only fully developed written language of pre-Columbian Americas. The Mayans were at the height of their civilization from about 300 to 900 AD, although there are still Mayans today in certain areas of Guatemala and Mexico.

In pre-Columbian Maya development, formal move had incredible significance. Be that as it may, since move is a transient workmanship, it is innately troublesome for archeologists to discover and assess confirmation of its part. There is minimal material data deserted, past a couple of artistic creations on wall paintings and vases. This absence of direct confirmation prompts a few distinctive archeological translations.

What are the challenges of the Maya in Guatemala today?
The Mayas of Guatemala today face much discrimination from their European-blooded neighbors, and although over 70% of Guatemala's population is Mayan, the power is given to the elite white blooded people. Even recently, the mayas have often been attacked and kidnapped by the white people.
To Guatemala's people of European descent, Mayas, or "indios", are stupid and uneducated and only fit to be maids and servants, and workers. However, studies have shown that when both a white and maya person are given the same education, the mayas are actually more intelligent!
Just because of the injustice of the guatemalan government should'nt keep you from visiting this beautiful country. Unless you stay in Guatemala City, which I wouldnt advise, you probably will actually interact more with the actual maya population, which are very kind, considerate, and richly-cultured people. Antigua is a good city to visit. There are enough European students (not the bad european-blooded government) that you should be safe. There are many mayas selling their wares in the central plaza, but also no shortage of beautiful colonial buildings, and a great abundance of natural beauty. If you need a good hotel, stay at El Convento Boutique Hotel! They have excellent service and are directly next to a famous landmark, El Arco de Santa Catalina.

The Mayan number system is a base-20 system. A dot is 1, a line is 5, and up to 19 you can write in one "digit". As soon as the number increases over 20, it goes up into the second "digit" and you stack a dot (this time multiplied by 20) over a shell shape (worth zero).
It's just like our number system, except our number system uses a base-10 system.
