I honestly would prefer to live in
the Postclassic Period because I
think is interesting to discovered
different stages of the evolution
of the history. Cultural horizons
can help us to understand better
why we can find pyramids
and sculptures. In my point
of view I think it is the best
cultural horizon because it is
the most interesting and the
one that stands out the most among
all the important stages in the world.

I would like to live in the classic period to know and learn special structures or monument's history. Also because I would like to learn how people of that period used to think, and talk too; the way they communicate, their psychology, even if it had been little, their customs, habits and beliefs, etc.

The Classic period (250 CE to 900 CE) is considered the height of the Maya civilization, characterized by great accomplishments like

The Maya hierarchy also placed importance on scholars who maintained astronomical reckonings, established sophisticated mathematics, and passed down written texts.

The Classic Period is defined by the appearance and use of dated monuments. Although some monuments appear earlier than AD 250, they are unusual. The wide-spread use of dated stelae occurred toward the end of the third century AD . Stela and altars recorded the political, social and religious history of the Maya using the Long Count, a calendrical system based on multiples of a 360-day year with a origin point of 3114 BC. The seven centuries of the Classic Period exhibited tremendous developments in Maya civilization that were certainly fueled by the steady increase in population. The cores of the massive monument that we see today -- monumental stone vaulted buildings and huge temple pyramids -- were founded in this period.
The Classic is often divided into two periods, the Early and the Late, separated by the " hiatus." The hiatus was a time when there was a marked decrease in building and the erection of dated monuments, particularly at Tikal. Recent studies have pointed to this as a phenomenon peculiar to the interior of the Central Maya Lowlands, probably brought on by Tikal's involvement in a series of destructive offensive and defensive military exploits. These so-called wars were based on shifting alliances among the reigning regional power centers of the era, such as Calakmul, Naranjo, Caracol, and Tikal. This interlude is variously recorded at these important centers, but, ultimately, the problems reflected by the hiatus were surmounted, making way for an acceleration of the civilization progress in the Late Classic.
All major centers of the region experienced major growth in the Late Classic Period, especially El Pilar. This growth was rooted in the sustainable management of the region's valuable resources found throughout the ridge lands. For more than three millennia, the Maya were able to support and maintain their society's growth by forging an unusual alliance with their environment. This alliance was a balancing act that supported the development of the Maya civilization over some 40,000 sq km or 15,440 sq miles of space and across some 15 centuries of time. The evolution of the relationship between agricultural intensification demanded by the culture and consequent environmental change was not based on long-range scientific data collection, as we might be able to do today, and was destined to have dire consequences.

Toward the end of the Classic, the elaborate civilization of the Maya began to come apart at the seams. Notably, there was an increase in conflict, probably because of competition over scarce resources, culminating in a drastic reduction in population. This is most dramatically reflected in the complete arrest of maintenance, not to mention construction, at lowland monumental centers such as El Pilar. Residential settlements were not so abruptly abandoned, but they too were at last abandoned. The great Classic centers in the central lowlands collapsed first -- Tikal was deserted in the ninth century. Building activity was prolonged at many eastern centers right to the end of the Terminal Classic as recorded at Xunantunch and El Pilar. Around El Pilar, occupation even extended into the Postclassic. This was the time when the once magnificent regal rooms, such as Zotz Na at El Pilar, were used for dumps and ultimately sealed in the final efforts to redeem the center's past glory.

I would like to live in the classic period because in those moments, the civilization had a good social structure. Also the economy had big ecomonical activities to develop it like agriculture and in those times, agriculture was a total different concept as it is now a days. Also because I would like to see the construction of important monuments of our country like the pyramids, or how the political systems work in those times. Last but not least, I would like to see the rituals that were performed because of what I have read in books, this rituals were used to make tribute to the gods like Quetzalcoalt or Tlaloc.

The Maya civilization was an ancient Mesoamerican civilization that flourished in the Yucatan Peninsula and surrounding regions from approximately 2000 BC to 1500 AD. The Maya civilization is known for its advanced achievements in areas such as architecture, mathematics, astronomy, writing, and art. Luca

If I have to choose someone I will Choose this because Maya and Teotihuacan, and preceded the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the century. If I were to choose to go to the Postclassic era, it would be for several compelling reasons Cultural Diversity: The Postclassic era saw the rise of various regional cultures and city-states in Mesoamerica, each with its unique art, architecture, and traditions. Exploring the rich tapestry of cultural diversity during this time would be a captivating experience.

I chose this option since I think it was the best option to live in since it was when cultures really started to develop and improve. I also think it was when architecture  was at its peak which I think is a very important part of a civilization

I would go back to this horizon so I could know about culture, language and architecture. I fell that this would be a life-changing event that would bring me knowledge about past cultures and past ways of life. I also think that this period its one of the most important because this culture had a huge change in the postclassic, after Spanish colonization
Víctor Flores

I think this horizon is the best one to live in because I feel this was the period were the cultures advanced and developed most of the piramides and architecture that we have. I also think that this one is the most important because in the postclassic was when everything changed because of the spanish

If I could live in any of the three cultural horizons I would like to be in the Classic one because many cultures were develop so I think it have more possibilities to express, or to combine between two or more different cultures. Also, it would be in the middle of the three eras so it would not be so in the past or in the future. Another thing, is that I would not like to leave in the postclassic because it was when the Spanish conquest the Mexicas and that were difficult times. I would not like to be in the preclassic because it is many years ago, so probably it is more dangerous because of the farmhouse of the animals. In conclusion, I prefer to live in the classic because it is safer, and have more opportunity to exchange ideas between civilizations.

I would like to travel to the classic period, and see how the culture, language, and discoveries were in that time, how they use things like medicinal plants, how they build their homes and how they start being interest by things like astronomy, all related to the universe, math, how they discovered the number 0 and the maya calendar, how were their religion, all these offerings and sacrifices as they were and the ball game or other traditions that have been developed.
