The mysteries of The Maya
The Mayan civilization is an ancient civilization in Central America. During the pre Columbian period, it occupied territory centered around the Yucatan Peninsula, which is currently equivalent to parts of southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. From 300 BC to 900 AD, the Mayans developed and improved an agricultural based economic system, with developed commerce, writing, art, science, religion, and government institutions, as well as advanced monuments, palaces, temples, and pyramid buildings.
Historians have divided Mayan history into three main periods based on archaeological achievements. Pre classical period (approximately 1200 BC -300 AD), classical period (300 AD -900 AD), post classical period (around 900 AD -1524 AD).
玛雅文明是中美洲的古老文明，在前哥伦布时代，它占领了以尤卡坦半岛为中心的领土，目前相当于墨西哥南部，伯利兹，危地马拉，洪都拉斯和萨尔瓦多的一部分。从公元前300年到公元900年，玛雅人发展和完善了以农业为基础的经济体系，拥有发达的商业，写作，艺术，科学，宗教和政府机构，以及先进的纪念碑，宫殿，寺庙和金字塔建筑。
历史学家通过考古取得的成果将玛雅历史分为三个主要时期。前古典时期（大约公元前1200年—公元300年），古典时期（公元300年—公元900年），后古典时期（公元900年—公元1524年前后）。

On top of all this was an achievement unique in the Americas at that time: a true writing system. It contained more than 800 characters, withsome signs representing animals , people and objects and others representing syllables. It was a writing system so complicated that, so far,no one has been able to interpret it completely.
