| Video Discription | The Maya are a people indigenous to Mexico and Central America who have continuously inhabited the modern regions of Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco, and Chiapas in Mexico and southward through Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras for over a thousand years. The Maya built soaring pyramidal structures all across Mesoamerica. The culture was made up of independent city-states, and the architecture shows both regional differences and similar attention and layout throughout the cities. The Maya calendar isn’t actually one calendar, but two which work together simultaneously. There’s the Haab and the Tzolkin, and the two calendars working together is known as the Calendar Round, but can only account for dates 52 years in the future. The Long Count Calendar, which is the calendar that attained lots of international interest leading up to 2012, is the one used for longer calculations. The long calendar which began on 11 August 3114 BCE, went into its next cycle on 21 December 2012 CE. There were never any writings by the Maya which suggested a worldwide catastrophe on the day in which the next cycle began, and the calendar can just continue on for millions and billions of years. The civilization did not end, however, and the claim that the Maya “mysteriously” disappeared is unfounded. Today, the Maya still farm the same land and travel the same rivers as their ancestors, often observing their same beliefs and speaking their same language. Although the region was Christianised, the religious practices today are something of a hybrid of European Catholic Christianity and Maya mysticism. — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store/ — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.worldhistory.org/patreon/ — CHAPTERS — 0:00 Introduction 0:42 Who are the Maya? 1:52 Origins of the Maya Civilization 5:44 Religion and Culture 7:33 The Maya Calendar 9:23 The Writing of the Maya 10:53 Maya Architecture 12:49 Government and Society 14:49 Outro — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — Maya Civilization https://www.worldhistory.org/Maya_Civilization/ Maya Architecture https://www.worldhistory.org/Maya_Architecture/ Maya Government https://www.worldhistory.org/Maya_Government/ Maya Religion https://www.worldhistory.org/Maya_Religion/ — WATCH NEXT — Pyramids Around The Globe: The Pyramids of Egypt and Beyond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3pkenUblcc The Ancient City of Babylon: History of the Babylonian Empire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-ZGsqwXsNM&t=42s Introduction to the Indus Valley Civilization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYQ9P0k7MoA — ATTRIBUTIONS — You can find all attribution and credits for images, animations, graphics and music here - https://worldhistory.typehut.com/the-maya-calendar-culture-and-history-an-introduction-to-a-mesoamerican-civilization-images-and-attributions-4757 The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.
