Mayan civilization and the end of the world
The Maya is one of the oldest civilizations in large parts of Central America, currently known as El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Belize, located in five southern states of Mexico: , Yucatan, , Caiaphas and Tabasco. The origins of the Mayan people are based on the American Indians who established the civilization of Central America, which reached its peak in the middle of the third century AD and continued to develop for more than six centuries. It is one of the finest civilizations that lived in the Americas due to their mastery of architecture
Mayans and the end of the world
The Mayan ancients predicted that on December 21, 2012, the end of the world would be the end of the world or that a global catastrophe would occur. A plan of stars in the Olympic civilization appeared in Central America in 680 BC, After that, they developed their own calendar in 355 BC and used their observations and mathematical skills to calculate the future movements of the stars in the sky. This resulted in the discovery of the impact of the Earth's swing in my work. Its rotation revolves around its axis. This oscillating rotation makes the movement of the stars gradually deviate in the sky in a cycle of 5125 years. The Mayan people discovered that the dark belt in the center of the Milky Way intersects once in each cycle with the elliptical orbit
Belief Faithful Mayan People
The Maya people worshiped many gods and believed in their ability to benefit and hurt; they sought help from them by offering offerings and prayers, and holding ceremonies according to their beliefs. Each god was responsible for a part of their lives. One manuscript referred to the presence of more than 160 gods, And the gods of the moon, and the gods of the sun, and the religion of great importance in the daily life of this people, was every day in the year of religious significance, and religious ceremonies are held in honor of the gods on certain days of the year
The Mayans were offering turkeys, dogs, slaughtered elk as well as blood they had spread on pieces of paper made from bark
They also offered some human sacrifices by killing humans in the mazes of great leaders or throwing them into deep wells
Science in Mayan
The Maya people used to write important dates and events in the life of the rulers. They also wrote a stone monument called Estella. They also wrote down some buildings and household items. They created books of paper made from fig leaves, and several books from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries survived. These books contain information on religious ceremonies, astronomical tables, and diaries that illustrate the specific days of business seasons such as agriculture and hunting
The development of mathematics and astronomy is another form of cultural progress in the Mayan civilization. They used the mathematical figure based on the number 20 instead of the number 10. Some priests developed their knowledge of astronomy by observing the orbits of the sun, stars and the moon. They set up scales predicting the orbit of Venus and the eclipse
The first is called the Holy calendar, which consists of 260 days. The other calendar is built around the Earth around the Sun and consists of 365 days divided by 18 months, by making the month consist of 20 days plus five days. At the end of the year, these five days at the end of the year were considered to bear bad luck; therefore they offered offerings and avoided doing whatever was unnecessary
Mayan arts
The Mayan civilization is famous for its exquisite arts, and this has been clearly demonstrated by the inscriptions and sculptures left behind. At present, there is only evidence of sophisticated Maya paintings. The rest are mostly funerary ceramics and buildings in Bonaparte with old frescoes that survived by accident. The turquoise color has preserved its existence over the past centuries because of its characteristic chemical properties, and recently discovered art murals in San Bartolomeo and elegant icons dating back to the per-classical
The Mayan civilization was known from the fourth century until the Spanish came to build the pyramids and to make the temples and the priests' houses above the peaks. The Mayan people built the arches by building two opposite walls at the top and then connecting them with a row of flat stones. They also built the large and low buildings which were believed to have been inhabited In the great celebrations of priests and important figures
