Mayan Civilization: An Essay on the Collapse of Mayan Civilization (Explore the History and Mystery of the Ancient Mayan Ruins) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781774855331)

Are you interested in learning what our ancestors studied, built, and how they entertained themselves?

Do you find the internet to be an overwhelming place and want all the information compiled into one convenient location?

I have studied the mayan civilization and have come to the conclusion that they are one of the most interesting pieces of history. They set the stage for what is modern day architecture, sports and their history can help us learn a great deal about ourselves today and how we got where we are.

Here is a preview of what you'll learn about...

• The mayan calendar
• Mayan religion and human sacrifice
• Agricultural practices
• Monuments and cities
• Society and politics
• Early forms of writing and numbers
• Art, architecture and culture

The maya recorded their history and ritual knowledge in screen fold books, of which only three uncontested examples remain, the rest having been destroyed by the spanish. The maya developed a highly complex series of interlocking ritual calendars, and employed mathematics that included one of the earliest instances of the explicit zero in the world.
