42. Mayan Civilization The ancient Maya civilization occupied the eastern third of Mesoamerica, He divides the history of the region into two periods before 761 and after. http://www.indians.org/welker/maya.htm

Mayan Civilization Geography and Landscape Many dangerous animals occupied this region of the peninsula including the jaguar, the caiman (a fierce crocodile), the bull shark, and many species of poisonous snakes. These animals had to be avoided as the Maya scavenged the forest for foods including deer turkey, peccaries, tapirs, rabbits, and large rodents such as the peca and the agouti. Many varieties of monkeys and quetzal also occupied the upper canopy. The climate of the Highlands greatly contrasted with that of the Lowlands as it was much cooler and drier. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands were important to the presence of trade within the Mayan civilization. The lowlands primarily produced crops which were used for their own personal consumption, the principle cultigen being maize. They also grew squash, beans, chili peppers, amaranth, manioc, cacao, cotton for light cloth, and sisal for heavy cloth and rope. The volcanic highlands, however, were the source of obsidian, jade, and other precious metals like cinnabar and hematite that the Mayans used to develop a lively trade. Although the lowlands were not the source of any of these commodities, they still played an important role as the origin of the transportation routes. The rainfall was as high as 160 inches per year in the Lowlands and the water that collected drained towards the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico in great river systems. These rivers, of which the Usumacinta and the Grijalva were of primary importance, were vital to the civilization as the form of transportation for both people and materials.

43. Mayan History Home Page The ancient Maya developed advanced systems of astronomy and mathematics, anaccurate calendar system, View the Highlights of mayan history http://www.oneworldjourneys.com/jaguar/history.html

The ancient Maya developed advanced systems of astronomy and mathematics, an accurate calendar system, extensive trade routes, and a religion dominated by blood sacrifices. Without benefit of metal tools, beasts of burden, or even the wheel, they were still masters of architecture, building elaborate pyramids and sprawling cities. The collapse of these great cities is a mystery only now being explained, but the modern Maya remain tenacious survivors, like the jaguar itself, at the dawn of this new millennium. The ancient Maya lived in a vast area covering parts of present-day Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, and the western areas of Honduras and El Salvador. From the Pacific Ocean in the south, a narrow strip of coastal lowlands rises to a belt of mountains, active volcanoes, and highlands. Then the terrain drops onto limestone-based, flat lowlands in the central area all the way north to the Gulf of Mexico. Unlike the later Aztecs, the Maya had no central king ruling a vast empire. Instead, there were as many as 20 politically sovereign polities, similar to ancient Greece city-states. Each major city had its own ruler and noble class supported by tribute received from smaller cities and the surrounding farm villages. FusionSpark Media, Inc.

Who Were the Real Celts? Ancient History Celtic v Rangers - The Traditional View of Celtic History The traditional historical view of the demise of the Celts has the Roman legions blasting their way across Europe, massacring the Celtic tribes as they went and everywhere obliterating the traditional Celtic way of life. Everywhere that is except in plucky Ireland and obdurate Scotland whose populations remained invincible to the last - with eventually the great Hadrian admitting defeat and building a wall beyond which no civilised Roman would dream of venturing. The Roman way of life completely wiped out the Celtic traditions in England, and when indolence and excess finally caused the collapse of Roman Britain, and the legions left, the void was filled by marauding German bands of Angles and Saxons who came across the North Sea and pushed the remnants of Celtic England back into the western hills where they became Welsh and incomprehensible. Meanwhile, an Irish Celtic tribe called the Scotti liked the look of Islay and the green hills of Kintyre and Knapdale, and either thrashed the native Epidii, or more likely ravished their daughters and purloined their land. They formed the ancient Kingdom of Dalraida and eventually, through a series of wars with the remnant Scottish Celts (the Picts and others) united Celtic Scotland and formed Glasgow Celtic football club The Angles and Saxons however had grabbed Ayrshire, the Borders and the Central belt and set up Glasgow Rangers football club. These superficial religious and ethnic differences are swept aside in the modern world, as Scots of every shape, size and orientation come together at frequent intervals to form the Tartan Army which cheerfully wanders the globe to witness the glorious defeats of our national team.

Shoulder-Season South America from Away.com DESTINATIONS Made Up of Time By Mark Leger The Maya, sons of the days, are made up of time," Eduardo Galleano recently wrote. He was referring to two things: their brilliant traditional calendars, products of astronomical knowledge until recently unrivaled by any other culture. And the Mayan ability to endure. The Mayan ruins of central America are from cities that fell into decline long before Columbus. But many of the traditions reflected in the architecture and art from these sites live on in the modern Mayan world. Mexico's Palenque Mayan Ruins The ancient Mayan world centered on the Yucatan Peninsula, spilling over to the lowland rainforests of Mexico to the east and Belize in the west, finally climbing up to the Guatamalan highlands through to the Pacific coast of Guatamala . The eastern edges of Honduras and El Salvador were also part of the Mayan world. Today, most Mayan people now live in three areas: the Yucatan Peninsula and Chiapas state in Mexico, and the Guatemalan highlands. Today's Maya number between four and six million, divided into many different ethnic groups who speak around 30 different languages.

About this site "Law in Mexico Before the Conquest" . At that time, precolumbian law was still under-represented in the literature of Latin American legal history, as Guillermo Floris Margadant observed in his closing remarks to the IV Congress on Mexican Legal History. Since then, however, there has been a surge in published research, particularly in the field of ancient Mayan law. This bibliography aims to provide comprehensive coverage of works that deal with Aztec and Mayan law up to the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the early 16th century. It cites only a few representative works on post-conquest indigenous law and general works on the history of the Aztecs and Mayas.

Ancient Central American Civilization Captives Today's Cruise Passengers In 1521, when the Spanish began their conquest of Mexico and Central America, they subdued the declining remnants of a Mayan civilization dating from 2000 B.C. During 35 centuries it had spread over some 125,000 square miles, but the Mayan world was not a unified empire like the Roman, Egyptian, or other empires in the Eastern Hemisphere. Physically, on today's map, it comprised the northern half of Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, plus the Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, and those on the Yucatan Peninsula.

Mayan Mythology Teacher's Guide HISTORY The Mayan Civilization The Maya originated around 3,000 years ago in present-day Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. From around AD 250 to AD 900, the Mayan empire flourished in the southern regions. Around AD 900, the empire in the south collapsed. No one knows why. Scholars have suggested, among other reasons, political upheaval, drought, disease, or overpopulation.
