given three pictures of Mayan artifacts. The pictures will consist of a combination of either
the Mayan calendar, a spear-head, a sculpture of the Mayan Jaguar god, Mayan
hieroglyphics, sculpture or painting of the twins from Mayan myth, and a painting of Mayan
sacrifices. Students will have to figure out when they think these artifacts are from, what
civilization they think they are from, and what importance they had during the time the
civilization existed.
Below write what the artifacts are, what civilization you think they come from, if they
remind you of anything that exists today, and/or something you have already learned
about, and the importance the artifact might have held during the time the civilization
existed.
