THE MAYA CULTURE
The Maya Culture was one of great advancements, but also great distresses. The area of the Maya was the area also known as the “Meso American” time.
The Mayans discovered and invented many tools we still use today Such as the calendar and the clock. The original Mayan calendar said that the world would end on December 21, 2012. but it didn’t, because it February 16th of 2016, right now, and I’m still alive!

Everyone in the town, except for the leader, would participate to collect enough food and drink for everyone to enjoy. The most parties took place right after sacrifices, to celebrate their success at pleasing the gods.
They invented their own writing systems called Maya Glyphs. Maya Glyphs are basically a form of Hieroglyphs, but with different signs. There are still about 7 million Mayans out there today, and some can still read the signs. They are the people we trust to translate the Mayan writing into American Writing.
As you can see, the Mayan Empire was one of great accomplishments. Although some of their inventions and theories turned out not to be scientifically correct, they have still helped us to learn more about our world, and how it works.
