Do you know any other fascinating facts about the Mayans? 🌌
The sculpture in min 1:10 and most of the images in the calendar section are the Aztec solar stone, so different civilization. Pretty cool documentary tho, keep up the good work!
the Aztec and Maya overlap a lot in terms of culture & traditions
@@railboat1105 well, sort off. If one compares them to European or Asian ancient civilizations, yes; but they were not particularly more similar to each other than to any other mesoamerican civilization. They were actually very far away in time (their 'peaks' are like 500 years apart) and in distance (something like Rome And Berlin)
@@railboat1105 the calendar thing is a slip i see very often in English media, so I thought it woud be useful to comment on that :)
Fun fact the Maya would make holes in their teeth and fill them with Jade as well as sharpen their teeth
Must have been quite a sight when other people groups came in contact with them… 😅
