Overview
The Maya civilization, which thrived in Mesoamerica from around 2000 BCE to 1500 CE, had a complex and accurate calendar system. They developed two main calendars: the Tzolk'in, a 260-day ritual calendar, and the Haab', a 365-day solar calendar. The Maya also had a Long Count calendar, which allowed them to record historical events over long periods. In this course you will get into the rich tapestry of Mesoamerican cultures as we navigate through the fascinating landscapes of two extraordinary civilizations. Begin by knowing the enigma of Mesoamerican history, setting the stage for a profound exploration into the distinctive realms of the Maya and Aztec societies.
Immerse yourself in the intricacies of Mayan life, from the awe-inspiring pyramids of Tikal to the complex hieroglyphic writings that reveal the depths of their intellectual prowess. Traverse the sacred landscapes that once echoed with ancient rituals and ceremonies, gaining a nuanced understanding of the Maya's societal intricacies.
Witness the transformative moments as these cultures encountered European powers, forever altering the course of their histories. Finally, reflect on the enduring legacies left by the Maya and Aztec civilizations, discerning their profound influences on subsequent generations. Join us on this educational odyssey, where history comes to life, and the echoes of ancient cultures resonate in the present day.
