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.

A sacred round is an ancient calendar used by the mayans and almost every other tribe in central america. It repeats when it reaches 260 days and contains omens for each day. When a person is born on a day in the sacred round, it contains a description of this day and the destiny of anyone who is born on that day. Kind of like a horoscope.
How did the Aztecs civilization worldview influence their decisions and choices?
Their worldview consisted only of what they knew in their regional area. The decisions and choices they made toward the end of their civilization were greatly influenced by the gods they belived in. Thinking the Spanish were gods or sent by gods there was much conflict within tribes. Some fought with the Spanish to help conquer other tribes only to have that backfire on them later on.
Definitely yes! Lord Pacal ascended in his ship as recorded on his sarcophagus lid in the Mayan ruins. Our discovery of other livable planets in the cosmos, and UFO sightings recently in China as well as around the world all lead to a time in the near future when human earthly perception will forever be changed, when contact is made and things like the human creation Myths (religion) will be put into perspective as fictional literature of the peoples of the planet on which they live.

What is Mayan jewelry made out of?
Mayan jewelry can be made out of many different types of materials, just as any other jewelry. Some examples are gold, platinum, titanium, ivory, clay, wood, beads, silver etc.
My favorite material for Mayan Jewelry is sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent fine silver. The reason designers use sterling silver is because pure silver is too soft a metal, and wouldn't last any extended period of time, whereas sterling silver adds in other high quality metals to increase its strength and other things like reduce tarnishing.
Why did the Mayan civilation decline?
In fact the "Maya Collapse" is one of the greatest mysteries of archaeology.
Some theories of "ecological disaster " affirm they overworked the land destroying most of their local environment - look at the film Apocalypto for a clue of this kind of ecological destruction. When a drought hit the Yucatan peninsula around the 700-800 AD, all their crops failed and their civilization collapsed when many people abandoned their cities in search for food. This is the most accepted reason, however it is just a theory and as such it is open to debate. Some other theories include disease, foreign invasion and peasant revolt but none explains such collapse on a satisfying way.
Where the mayans Cortes allies?

No. It just seems like that but we still can keep going in many different ways.
Chichen Itza is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, 178 Kilometers (111 miles) west of Cancun and 107 Kilometers (67 miles) east of the capital of the state, Merida. Its geographic coordinates are (20°40'53.7''N, 88°34'0.6''W).
The archaeological site of Chichen Itza is located in Yucatán in Mexico. I was there three months ago with a group of my friends. We did lots of fun there.
