Many years have passed since the first explorers discovered ancient cities lost in the rainforest of mesoamerica. Today we know these cities are the legacy of the maya civilization. Beginning in 2000 B.C. the maya created a complex civilization that reached its peak between 200 B.C. and A.D. 900 when they built magnificent cities and developed advanced mathematical and astronomical concepts. This is a brief, up to date look at the most recent archaeological discoveries in the maya area, and how they have shed new light on the marvels of this timeless culture.
