I. ARCHITECTURE
The Maya culture used architecture as a way to represent power. This culture achieved this representation by the creation and construction of massive monuments. Besides showing power, the Maya architecture had as a main objective to show the respect and passion to their religion, that is to say, that these enormous monuments were sacred for them, in other words, these constructions were seen as gifts from their gods.
The Maya received inspiration from the Olmec and the monuments the culture had built in their main cities such as La Venta or Tres Zapotes. The Olmec was a culture located at the Southern of Veracruz and the adjacent part of Tabasco (Mexico). However, the Maya used this inspiration and their knowledge in astronomy
