The Entire History Of Maya Explained.

The Maya built massive cities, towering pyramids, sophisticated calendars, complex writing systems, and one of the most remarkable civilizations in the ancient Americas. But then many of their greatest cities were abandoned and swallowed by the jungle. So what actually happened to the Maya? In this video, we travel from the earliest Maya farming villages around 2000 BCE, through the rise of El Mirador and the great Classic Maya cities like Tikal and Calakmul, to astronomy, writing, warfare, the famous Maya ball game, drought, political collapse, the arrival of the Spanish, and the discovery of thousands of hidden structures beneath the jungle. And there's one important detail most people get wrong: The Maya did not disappear. Millions of Maya people still live across Mexico and Central America today, continuing languages and traditions that stretch back thousands of years. This is the entire history of the Maya explained.
