It is believed that the Maya are descendants of a race of Native Americans called the Olmec who lived along the Gulf of Mexico. 
Mayan lands stretched from what we we now know as Mexico to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. 
Today, hundreds of restored ancient cities with temple-pyramids, palaces, ball courts, and grand plazas are studied by archaeologists, and are visited by millions of tourists from all over the world each year.  ]]> 2020-04-16 13:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/muiteoirdeburca/Mexico/wish/510697970 MuiteoirDeBurca https://padlet.com/muiteoirdeburca/Mexico/wish/510771736 Here's a link to an online interactive: http://maya.nmai.si.edu/the-maya/maya-world]]> 2020-04-16 14:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/muiteoirdeburca/Mexico/wish/510771736 MuiteoirDeBurca https://padlet.com/muiteoirdeburca/Mexico/wish/510953933 The Mayans built hundreds of ceremonial cities in the area of Mesoamerica (the region of Mexico and South America once lived in by the Mayans).

The “Stone of the Sun” shows carvings of symbols that are represented within a calendar. These carvings are representing the names of centuries written in the center with years, months and days around them concentrically. Therefore, it's not really a calendar. Close, but you wouldn’t be able to tell which day today is.
