Mayan

By Rose Shapiro

Introduction

Of the three Mesoamerican civilizations studied in this unit, the Mayan had the most important achievements. I will be presenting three of there greatest achievements : the solar year, weaving ,and written language.

The Mayan solar year is one of there greatest achievements because of how precise it was when they had very simple tonics like looking through forked sticks to track the stars. This then helped them make a good solar calendar.

Weaving also is a very important achievement the Mayans made because the descendents of the Mayan still use similar techniques and designs to day. As well as how complex and colorful the cloth was. They also embroidered tunics called huipiles and traded the they made cloth.
