EarlyDiscoveries

Inthelate1700's,agroupofexplorerscuttingtheirwaythroughaforestinCentralAmericacameupontheruinsofanancientcity.Underatangleoftreesandvines,theyfoundlarge,welldesignedstonebuildingsandhandsomestonemonuments.Someofthestoneswerecoveredwithastrangekindofwriting.Carvingsonotherstonesshowedthatatleastsomeofthepeoplewholivedinthearealongbeforewerehighlyadvanced.

QuestionsRaised

Inthenext150years,morecitieswerediscovered.Theyseemedtobepartofagreatcivilizationstretchingacross500miles(about800kilometers)offorest.In1881,anEnglishmannamedAlfredMaudslayledthefirstbigscientificexpeditiontostudytheruinsintheforest.Maudslaywasanarcheologist,ascientistwhostudiedtheremainsofancientcommunitiesforcluestohowthepeoplelived.Otherexpeditionsfollowed,butatfirsttheyfoundmorequestionsthananswers:Whobuiltthecities,andwhenthecitieswerebuilt?Howhadthepeoplelivedherein'themiddleofarainforest?Mostpuzzlingofall,whathappenedtothem?

PossibleAnswers

Gradually,someoftheanswershavebeenpiecedtogether.Today,livinginpartsofMexicoandGuatemala,therearebrownskinnedIndianpeoplecalledtheMayas.ScientistsbelievethattheancestorsoftheseIndiansbuiltthecitiesandcarvedthestonemonuments.

ofburiedpotterytellusthattheMayashadlivedinsomeoftheircitiesforhundredsofyearsearlier.AttheheightofMayancivilization,theremusthavebeenovertwomillionpeoplelivinginandaroundhundredsofbeautifultownsandcities.

Archeologistsdigginginthesecitieshaveuncoveredroads,afewwaterreservoirs,andtemplesbuiltoneontopofanother.Handsomepicturesmadeofsculpturedplasterandpaintedinbrightcolorswerefoundonthewallsofbuildings.Paintedpotsandpiecesofcarefullycarvedjewelrywerediscoveredintombsunderthefloorsoftemples.ThesepicturesandobjectsshowedmuchabouttheMayas'life.Therewerescenesofpeopleworking,peopleatwar,noblesholdingcourt,priestsinfantasticcostumesandMayangods.

PossibleErrors

Foralongtime,archeologistsworkedonlyonuncoveringlargeMayanstructures,suchastemples,palaces,andballcourts.Littleeffortwasmadetofindtheremainsofsmallerbuildings,suchashouses.Theseemingabsenceofhousesledpeopletobelievethatthecitieswereonlythehomesofpriestsandrulers,wholivedinthepalaces.Theythoughttheordinarypeopleprobablylivedinthecountrysideandcametothecitiesonlyforreligiousceremonies.
