Facts About The Ancient Maya

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Forget the movie Apocalypto the real Mayans of pre-Colombian America were more than stone pyramids and bloody rituals. From about 200 until the so-called Mayan collapse around 900 CE, the Maya people were at the height of their influence. They were one of many civilizations like the Olmecs and the Aztecs that animated Mesoamerica before the arrival of European colonizers. Clustered around the Yucat n peninsula, Maya culture was layered and complex, filled with masterful artwork, political networks, and thriving cities. They even had a written language that is preserved in artwork and bark-bound codex books.

You don't have to prescribe to the ancient alien's theory to know that the Mayans We're not the builders of the pyramids. The mayan's simply inhabited preexisting structures built by an unknown past civilization.

I have read about how the Mayans thought the end of the world is in 2012 just glad it s false I would feel sorry for anyone that has ever panicked about it back then.

The Mayans had contact with ETs and left in a spaceship. They got picked up before they would be conquered by the Spanish.
