Description
Discover the fascinating story of the ancient Maya civilisation, whose cities featured astonishing pyramids and palaces, while they were also successful farmers and highly creative artists.
The Maya were the first people in the Americas to learn how to read and write, and they invented things like rubber, chocolate and chewing gum. They had a deep understanding of astronomy, mathematics and timekeeping, but also had some dark traditions such as human sacrifice.
Find out what life was really like for an Ancient Maya, and explore why this mysterious civilisation was on the brink of collapse when it was conquered by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century.
