Mayan Civilization

The Mayan Civilization was once an Ancient Native American civilization which eventually expanded to become one of the most “cutting-edge”, developed civilizations in the Americas. Those that were part of this civilization were called the “Maya”. The Maya people lived in the eastern and southern areas of what we know today such as Mexico. They lived in regions of Guatemala, sections of El Salvador, the Belize and western parts of Honduras. The Maya people had constructed tremendous, gigantic pyramids that were made of stones; they constructed beautiful, detailed temples, and even beautiful sculptures that had significant meanings to their civilization.
