The Mayan had many beliefs but what I'm talking about here is how they used their beliefs to influence their culture. Objects were made such as bowls and tools. simple items used to preform tasks to aid the community. some of these items were more important however.  Some Mayan made tools were specifically for religious things and some were simply decorated to look like something. These tools might include simple farm equipment to masks / hats and even weapons.

The Maya were an advanced civilization that lived in modern- day southern Mexico, through Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, and El Salvador and into Nicaragua. The earliest Mayan settlements start around 1800 B.C, the earliest Maya were agricultural, growing crops such as corn, beans, squash and cassava. During the Middle Classic Period (lasted 'till 300 B.C) the Maya farmers began to expand their farmland both in the highland and lowland regions. They also got to see the evolution of other early civilizations like the Olmec. The Maya derived a lot of Religious and cultural traits as well, they also developed things like a number system and their famous calendar. They also started more advanced cultural traditions with pyramids. The golden age of the Maya empire was the classic period which began around 250 A.D and ended around 900 A.D. The maya had advanced so much during these time periods that they had around 40 cities that they created including: Tikal, Uaxactún, Copán, Bonampak, Dos Pilas, Calakmul, Palenque and Río Bec; each city held a population of between 5,000 and 50,000 people. They had plazas, palaces, temples and all kinds of advanced structures. The Maya built their temples in a stepped-pyramid shape, and decorating them with inscriptions and oth4er decorations. The Maya were very religious, and worshiped various gods related to nature, including the gods of the sun, the moon, rain and corn. The Maya also made huge advancements in mathematics and astronomy. They had the concept of zero and complex calendars. They also made a hieroglyphic writing system. They learned how to make paper out of tree bark. The decline of the Mayan civilization is a mystery. There are theories of droughts or warfare, but no one knows for sure.
