Mayan Civilization - AJ

• The Maya lived in the Yucatan since 2,600 B.C. To day this part is Southern Mexico, Guatemala. By 250 A.D., the Mayan civilization was now at it's peak of power. The Maya had their own writing system and had three different calendars. They also had their  language too.
• The early astronomers created there own collection or data of what thought many  constellations were called and what they looked liked. They also studied the phases of the moon with a spoon, a door , and a mirror. 
• The Maya first started counting time when astronomers used a spoon, a door, and a mirror to find sunset and sunrise. They started making their own way of writing to calculate how long a day was. The number system was not used after a long period.
• The Maya also created many temples that were made of gold and stone. Then, the Mayan civilization started to rise slowly and they had also created avast empire that was almost impossible to destroy. Maya started to defeat many kingdoms and ruled for a long time.
• At one point different parts of Maya wanted more and more power so they declared war on each other. This caused the great down fall of the Mayan civilization and many lives were killed, many home and creations were destroyed. The Mayan civilization was mostly put to it's end.
