The Maya created two calendars, one calendar to record religious events and another calendar to record season and agriculture. They were also the first civilization to use the concept of zero. The Maya used sinkholes year round to collect rainwater for their crops. They used what is called the three sisters which is three different crops, squash, corn, and beans. Maize was said to be one of the most important crops. The Maya had aleggably believed that the gods controlled everything so royal families and nobles would draw their own blood to please the gods and sometimes they even used human sacrifices. The Maya civilization collapsed at about 900 C.E. It is likely that the Maya civilization collapsed because of drought, war, or erosion.
