  1. there are a lot in south mexico and South American I went to a place in Costa Maya


  2. Mexico was the location of the Mayan people.

  3. South America

  4. The Mayan territories extended from what is today the south and east of Mexico, well to the south of Central America as far down as Panama.

    There is a place called the Mayan Peninsula in Mexico, of which the resort city of Cancun is a part of.

  5. The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatán around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. The Maya were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial architecture, including temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built without metal tools. They were also skilled farmers, clearing large sections of tropical rain forest and, where groundwater was scarce, building sizeable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Maya were equally skilled as weavers and potters, and cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade networks with distant peoples.

  6. Yucatan Peninsula and the surrounding areas.
