The Mayan Civilization

THE MAYA

The ancient civilization of our world

It is known that there have been numerous ancient civilizations and empires throughout history . They have largely contributed to the development of science, technology , medicine and to the general prosperity of humans. I think that those ancient cultures are the foundation of who we are today

The Paleolithic Period was the earliest era of human development. People then didn’t worry about many things. They lived a simple life of sleeping, hunting and eating. But as time passed, humans have evolved. Soon, they could build some structures, make some clothing, survive in dangerous surrounding and even use herbal medications .

  People started seeking for immortality

long ago, but were unable to attain it.

It was written in the world’s first epic poem about Gilgamesh. One thing that united all ancient civilizations was the use of symbols or hieroglyphs in writing. Many ancient cultures made inscriptions on walls, rocks or trees to transfer information and to communicate

in such way .

  Although the languages they used are mostly dead, some modern cultures still use hieroglyphs. For example, Hebrew and Arabic alphabets were derived from ancient civilizations

   Mayan civilization is also an

interesting example. They are considered

to be the representatives of

Mesoamerican region. The Maya people were known

for their fully developed written language, distinct art, architecture, mathematical and astronomical systems .

They even had an advanced calendar, which was used to track certain periods of time

Many ancient societies worshipped several idols, gods and goddesses .
