The Maya built an incredibly advanced civilization in Central America. We still admire their culture, fine arts, architecture, monuments in the cities of Chichen Itza, Tikal, Palenque, Uxmal, Caracol, pyramids, temples, stadiums. Thanks to a linguist born in Ukraine, Mayan religious tales, stories about their traditions, astronomy, mathematics and, of course, the calendar have come down to us. Yes, the same one that supposedly foretold the end of the world in 2012. We tell you about what exactly caused the destruction of this civilization. We explore their history, shocking religious rituals, sports championships and even culinary heritage. And we figure out what went wrong with the end of the world. #was #Maya #mexico The history of the most terrible epidemics - • Coronavirus - not the worst! Stories...
