About the Book

Discover The Maya History & How They Lived!Buy the paperback version of this book, and get the kindle ebook version included for FREE!

This book's coverage begins with the development of the Maya through the ancient eras, starting with their founding in Belize as a hunter-gatherer society in the Pre-Classic Period all the way through the Classic and Post-Classic Period during which they had flourished into the civilization they are known for today. The Maya was composed of several city-states that spanned the area, all with soaring stone architecture structured for its citizens and a network of roads and passages to make trading and travel easier for commerce.

Understanding the mystical nature of the Maya religion and their belief in the balance of the universe are keys to understanding how the Maya lived and worshipped. They believed in balance between all individuals and worked hard to always praise the gods who created them with their own godly blood. They believed the gods destroyed previous civilizations before them because those peoples refused to worship, and the Maya made certain they would not share that same fate. This is clear in their cities, where the temple is the center of most of the plaza city-states.

Maya architecture is left standing to this day, even after centuries of weathering and excavation from archaeologists. Their limestone structures were created carefully and mapped out using their mathematical skills, and they even used cement to hold stones together while also planning out the expansion of their temples to hold tombs.

Inside this book, you will find the following:
  • The history of the Maya people and where their civilization began and expanded from
  • How the name "Maya" came to be used for these people
  • The growth of the Maya as they became a booming society during the Classic Period

  • How the traditional game of Poc-a-Toc was played and how it was more of a religious ritual than just a ballgame
  • The astonishing accuracy of the Maya calendar as they charted the sun, planets, and the moon using only their naked eye
  • The Caste War of Yucatán and how the Maya worked to get back their lands and rights during the Spanish colonization
  • How Spanish colonization has influenced ancient Maya religions
  • How the Maya number system worked and how to read their numbers
  • The types of architectural structures found in their city-states and what each could be used for
  • Types of arts the Maya excelled in such as embroidery, textile, painting, and carving
