The largest Mayan city's name was Tikal. They had a calendar system that worked until 2012 A.D.. These people actually consumed chocolate. They used hieroglyphs as the primary writing system. They had a popular ball game kind of like basketball and soccer, no hands, hit ball into target. It was used for more than just recreation, it could be used as a serious ritual.

Typically the walls of their house were made of stone or mud. Like many old huts and houses, they use hay for their roofing. Despite the fact that they may seem very small one floor like, some houses had 1 to 2 sets of stairs.

The Mayans lived in far Southern Mexico. The Yucatan Peninsula as well as modern day Guatemala, are places they entirely covered up and dwelled in. Another word for this is Mesoamerica, the word used to describe the land of Mexico and Central America before the Europeans invaded.

Why would I become one? Some of the main reasons I chose to become apart of the Mayan tribe is because of the very advanced technology and advancements that they had, such as the calendar. They were also very great in architect and building, which I thought was very cool. Last but not least, the ball game, it seems really interesting and sounds very fun!
