The Maya, Aztec, and Inca shaped our present civilization for the better in terms of their early ideas of agriculture, religious beliefs and practices, timekeeping, and written word. The earliest ideas of agriculture, or the science, art and business of farming and ranching, have been around even longer than the Maya, Aztec, and

The movie not only demonstrates Jaguar Paw survival, it showcases the aspects of a civilization in the Maya civilization during the Pre-Columbian period. During the movie it was evident that the Maya was a civilized group of people because they had their king or leader (Jaguar Paw’s father), settled agriculture, religion, weaponry, architecture and social hierarchy. Therefore, it is very incorrect to

Archaeologists and other scientists each have their own beliefs for how the Mayan society disappeared. Some hypothesis it was brought upon by a drought, others say it was due to a collapse in their socio-political structure. There are also some who believe that either
Religion is a significant part in peoples’ lives. Even though some people do not follow religious rules, they still respect others’ opinion on religion. Half of religious groups believe in many gods and the other half of religious groups believes in one god. Religion is very important in many ways. It has a powerful organization and achieves many important social role. Three religions that have the continued through the past and today are Buddhism, Confucianism, and Hinduism which are part of China
The Mayans, as a civilization, thrived during their time. That is why their disappearance is such a huge mystery to people today. The disappearance of the Mayans has many theories. The people of Maya may of been in control of their fate. There are three theories that can explain why the Mayans may be at fault for their own disappernce.

Native Americans were the first people to own the New world. 1492, when Christopher Columbus landed he thought he landed in India .The arrival of the European to new world was the
communities have even been found in close proximity to where most of the Izapan ritual cites are located. Though even more curious is what was described on the stelae, the same water and rain god as transcribed on both the Olmec and Izapan stelae. "Classic Maya civilization's Olmec ancestry is traceable through Izapan culture." (P. Markman, R. Markman, 1989) In the book Mexico it describes a series of Izapan monuments that are built along the coast of Guatemala and continue into the highlands. They abruptly

I want to explore the origin or these beliefs and try to find out about how Science- a topic that we use to define everything that happens, justifies these beliefs. These occult sciences have now been explored for centuries. In a time where technology and science is advancing, we should be asking questions and trying to substantiate these “theories/beliefs” instead of just instinctively believing in them. This research will
