Maya

Antiquity

In the Central American jungles grew a series of city-states bound by alliances and a common culture—the Maya. They transformed a seemingly inhospitable landscape into a paradise of plazas, ball courts, and pyramids that rose out of the jungle to greet the open sky. But struck by climate and political crises, the Maya declined, and the land was once more covered by forest.
