The ball should land in green 5.26% of the time, red 47.37% of the time, and black 47.37% of the time.
The Maya shared their technology with other Mayan groups when it came to agriculture and other sciences such as dentistry and architecture (buildings, bridges), astronomy, religion and medicine. They were also good business traders, having built sophisticated roadways over long distances buying and selling and doing other commerce. This is known to be true because of the "money" they used-chocolate! There are many times, however, when the records show one Mayan group or city fighting with another over resources; small kingdoms throughout the Yucatan were competing with one another for power and control over all city/states (much like early Greece!). The Maya that lived near volcanic outcroppings of Obsidian were usually among the winners of these contests, for they bore weapons made of volcanic glass sporting an edge sharper than that of today's surgical steel! -InThree21
Was communal and hunter-gatherer with little need for commerce until the Europeans showed up with goods they wanted.

-They also built many temples and roads.
-Also, who ever answered this question has bad grammar, it's Mayans, not ''mayans'', and it's Tenochtitlan, not ''tenochitlan''. Your welcome for the correct answer.
P.S. What was written above my correction is also true, but the spelling is bad.
-FYI, they built their temples on pyramids.
-It's you're welcome, not "your" welcome. "Your" doesn't stand for "you are." So don't complain about other people's grammar. I'm not going to flag the question just because you put "your welcome," but the next time someone makes so many mistakes, JUST FLAG THE QUESTION!!!
P.S. Sorry about the public embarrassment. You did it too, though.
Omg stop this person wants an answer not a fight. The Mayans had a quipu and they built temples, roads, city-states, stelea, and royal tombs.
What was the animal life in Maya?
Most of the Mayan people were farmers. The main staple of their diet was corn also known as maize. Other things that they grew were beans, squash, avocado pear, avocado, sweet potato, guava, chili peppers, cocoa beans, vanilla beans, papaya and tomatoes. They would also eat fruits from trees.
The Mayans used a farming technique called milpa, also known as slash and burn. They would clear the land by cutting down and burning all of the foliage in the spring before the summer rains. Then they would plant their crops by poking digging sticks into the ground and planting the seeds in the holes. The slash and burn technique means that the fields would only be fertile for a few years. The Mayans practiced crop rotation to get more growing seasons out of the field.
Another farming technique used by the Mayans was terracing. They would build stone walls to level out fields in mountainous areas.
Most of the plants grown by the Mayans were for food. Other plants were grown to make dyes for clothing and chewing gum from the Sapodilla tree. The Mayans also grew plants to make medicines to heal people. They would cut down timber from the jungle to build houses and temples.
In addition to farming the Mayans raised dogs, turkeys and ducks for food. They also used the feathers from the turkeys and ducks for clothes. The Mayans raised bees to make honey. In the wild they hunted deer, rabbits, boar, armadillos and they fished. They also ate fish, turtles, iguanas and insects. The Mayans used every part of the animal for food, clothing and tools. This is very similar to the Native Americans in our country.
The main part of the Mayans diet was corn or maize. The woman would grind the corn into flour and then make a paste. Then they baked it into a tortilla, similar to a taco shell.
The Mayan family all lived together. The men farmed and hunted. The women would cook and weave. The children helped out their mothers with the chores and only went to school if they came from a noble family.
The Mayans had a class system of people, which meant that the people at the top governed over the people at the bottom. At the top were the nobles with the King being the most powerful. The King's power was hereditary which means that the oldest son would become the King when he died. The King appointed the other people. The next most powerful were the priests who helped the king and also lead religious ceremonies. The next level of people was the commoners. Most people were in this commoner category and were farmers. The bottom of the system was the slaves. Slaves were caught during wars or if people broke a law like stealing they would become a slave. Also add me PLZ

Why did the Maya create calendars?
no they didn't. the Olmec did but the Olmec were ancestor's of the Maya.
Why did the Mayan civilization vanish or why isn't it around today?
The Mayans didn't vanish. They moved all over, partly into what is now Mexico and South America. They also moved northward, the Mayan's history is clouded by the lack of information and the understanding of what is available. The Mayan civilization had cycles of life each consisted of I believe 533 years or something like that. Their belief was that each 1000 years a "new" world or cycle would begin. Each cycle brought different elements of life such as disaster, great bounty etc... This is why the Mayan calender ends December 21, 2012. The 5,000 year cycle starts again or so it's believed.
Did the peoples who were the Mayans become the Aztecs?
No, the Mayans were a different and earlier people than the Aztecs, though they were to have a major influence on Astec culture
Is the apocalypse going to happen in 2012?
The main reason people are asking about 2012 in particular has to do with a piece of Mayan mythology which even the ancient Mayans seem to have had the good sense not to take too seriously:
December 21 - The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun, or minor numerical sub-cycle, since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to August 11, 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT correlation" JDN = 584283).
The Long Count B'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Monument 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. But the Maya certainly did not take it as representing the end of the current world, since an inscription by Pacal at Palenque looks forward to a royal anniversary on October 15, 4772.
Another event that will take place December 21st 2012 is something called the "Galactic Alignment", which is most likely the reason that the Mayan calendar ended at that time. The Galactic Alignment is the alignment between the Sun, the Earth, and the center of the Milky Way. Along with that, there is also the possibility of a pole shift, or the changing of north and south (i.e. the north pole becomes the south pole). See the related link.
The United Kingdom will host the Olympics. Other than that nothing is going to happen but a bunch of nut heads cowering in fear of a "myth planet" heading towards us.
Why everyone thinks that the world will end is because of the Mayan calender ends. It only ends because they're starting a new era. But all that it is is a new Maya era. So nothing is going to happen on December 21 2012
Know one knows whats going to happen in 2012. Only GOD knows whats gonna happen in 2012...Will life as we know it end,? you tell me. Well lets see what the bible says, I'm pretty sure it says he will come like a theft in the night.

There is no way anyone or anything, but GOD could make something like you.. the way we think, look, hear, see, smell, feel, the power of the mind...Think about it how? how in the world could you even begin to make a brain? the way it thinks the way it works? its crazy...i know some ppl thats just not enough belief for them...me? its plenty....thank you and GOD BLESS
it was said that the world was going to end, but many people believe that Christ will come on that day. In the Bible, it was said that there was going to be a rapture, a flood, and a fire. only '' Jehovah's witnesses were going to be taken, and only 144,00 were going to be taken. some people might live to tell the story.
It is not going to happen. They say that all the time just to make money, First they say it on TV. "THE WORLD IS GONNA END". so they get a million view's. Then they make a movie so they get like $10000000 probably even more then they make a book then it dose not happen so they do it all over again i am not sure who they is or who
Your normal, everyday life. I know what your thinking, "Is the world going to end in 2012?". There is your answer
EDIT:
Well.. since Dec. 12, 2012 Friday, the sun will come up, kids and teens will wake up for school in the morning, they'll get ready, go to school, come back home, start they're weekend, the sun will go down, we'll go to sleep, it'll be midnight, then it'll be Dec. 13, 2012. Simple as that
EDIT2: relook your words, its December 21, 2012....which is a sunday. do your research son!!
people okay guess what Jesus christ doesnt even know when hes coming down if ur christian don't worry bout a thing. Only the lord knows. Poeple who made up this rumor is stupid there ain't no body as good as the lord?
true but where does the lord dwell? INSIDE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.
that said, what will happen in 2012 will go something like this:
Nibiru/Planet X will align between the earth and the sun causing massive solar storms & weather extremes.
(look this up on Nasa official website, type 2012 solar storms into search engine.)
Then the epitamy off all that is evil will once again try to take the world
The World Government will then activate a highly technological sattelite type gizmo which will turn the PLANET into a giant TV screen.
(research Project Blue Beam)
They will then proceed to feed the masses some complete BS about the earth being under attack from E.T's or the coming of the anti-christ or christ and try to offer the solace of camps where you can be taken and ''PROTECTED''.
