Description

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.
