What was the Maya Civilization?
The Maya was an ancient civilization that thrived between 250 and 900 C.E. in what is now Central America and southern Mexico. The Maya civilization was not governed by a central, powerful authority (like an emperor); instead, it was comprised of a collection of city-states who were united by trade, language, and religious beliefs. During their heyday, they produced remarkable works of art, architecture, and learning. They perfected a calendar system as well as a writing system that used hieroglyphs. Mayan civilization was destroyed by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th Century, but the descendants of the Maya still live in the same area as their ancestors.
