Mayan people
The
ancient Maya established their cities in the rainforest,
played games that went
on for days,
and are famous for their knowledge of the stars. The idea of
time fascinated them.
They chewed gum, filed
their teeth and raised bees without stingers.
Like the Egyptians, they built pyramids, often elaborately
adorned with murals and elaborate architectural details. Visit

centers continued until the Spanish arrived in the 16th century.
