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.

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.

What transportation did Mayans have?

Poop The economy of India, measured in USD exchange-rate terms, is the twelfth largest in the world, with a GDP of US $1 trillion (2008).It had a GDP growth rate of 9.0% for the fiscal year 2007-2008.However, India's huge population has a per capita income of $4,542 at PPP and $1,089 in nominal terms (revised 2007 estimate).The World Bank classifies India as a low-income economy. India's economy is diverse, encompassing agriculture, handicrafts, textile, manufacturing, and a multitude of services. Although two-thirds of the Indian workforce still earn their livelihood directly or indirectly through agriculture, services are a growing sector and play an increasingly important role of India's economy. The advent of the digital age, and the large number of young and educated populace fluent in English, is gradually transforming India as an important 'back office' destination for global outsourcing of customer services and technical support. India is a major exporter of highly-skilled workers in software and financial services, and software engineering. Other sectors like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, nanotechnology, telecommunication, shipbuilding, aviation , tourism and retailing are showing strong potentials with higher growth rates. India followed a socialist-inspired approach for most of its independent history, with strict government control over private sector participation, foreign trade, and foreign direct investment. However, since the early 1990s, India has gradually opened up its markets through economic reforms by reducing government controls on foreign trade and investment. The privatisation of publicly owned industries and the opening up of certain sectors to private and foreign interests has proceeded slowly amid political debate. India faces a fast-growing population and the challenge of reducing economic and social inequality. Poverty remains a serious problem, although it has declined significantly since independence. Official surveys estimated that in the year 2004-2005, 27% of Indians were poor. source:: wikipedia.
