Mayas were a mysterious people. They ruled parts of Central America
between 2600 BC and 1500 AD. Their relics are seen in Mexico, Belize
Honduras and Guatemala. Though we have archaeological evidence from 2600
BC, their calendar begins from 11
th August 3114 BC. They
were famous for their accurate calendar, written language, astronomical
and mathematical systems. But all these came to our attention only
because of their big and beautiful buildings. They built massive
structures. The ruthless Spaniards came in 1540 and massacred a lot of
people and plundered their gold. The Spaniards destroyed Maya culture
and language, but couldn’t do anything to the architectural wonders
because they were so huge.
