Maya Civilization in Mexico
The Maya culture was an ancient Native American way that represented one of
the most advanced civilizations in the western hemisphere before the
arrival of Europeans.
The people known as the Maya lived in the region
that is now eastern and southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador,
and western Honduras.
The Maya civilization encompassed all of the Yucatán
Peninsula in present-day Mexico and parts of present-day Guatemala,
Honduras, and El Salvador.
Ruins of Maya cities, which serve as an
indication of the skill and artistry of their architects, have been
discovered throughout this region. For reasons still unknown, the Maya
civilization collapsed in about ad 900.
Descendants of the Maya still form a large part of the population of the
region. Although many have adopted Spanish ways, a significant number of
modern Maya maintain traditional cultural practices.
