The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in
the 1500s. The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements
were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The
Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge
helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it
to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming,
for instance, made their work easier and more productive.
The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The
people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around
these temples. It was difficult for them to construct these cities, because they had no
horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the
building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples
are still standing. Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people
worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests
lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses
were much simpler than the elaborate structures in the cities. The Mayan priests studied
the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The
year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan
calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time.
Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No
one knows why this happened. They may have died from an infectious disease. They
may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists are still trying
to find the lost secrets of the Maya. They are still one of our greatest mysteries.
