Callie
For my University I went to Queensborough Community College of the City University of New York. This university specializes in making people into future historians and I'm one of those historians. I have learned a lot from that university and I hope to provide you with some information on the mysterious civlization of the Maya.
Mia
My name is Mia Chadwick, and I received a degree in the major of anthropology on
the online university, Ashford. I have spent many years exploring
cultural/social anthropology in ancient settings such as Central America, Asia, and
Africa. The Mayan civilization is very fascinating, especially because several
advancements they made centuries ago are still in use today. Take, for example,
the Mayan calendar. Three hundred sixty-five days were clearly marked on the
circular contraption. Each day was also described as having “bad luck” or “sunny
weather”, and other details based on corresponding days in the previous years.
Although this advancement technically falls under the maths category, I still
find every aspect of their culture fascinating. They were proud of their language, Nahuatl... Enough to name it “elegant speech”. They held several rituals
involving blood sacrifice- of both animals and humans. Like Ancient Egypt, they
constructed pyramids and believed their leader to be the closest relative to
God, thus being their only medium to communicate with them. They buried
their valued leaders in/under beautiful temples. They used both primitive and
advanced methods of farming. This website will help describe all of these
advancements and more, but for now, please feel free to browse my page for any
information you need on the Maya society and architecture.
