The Maya were a powerful civilization that originated in the Yucatan around 2600 BC and came to full power around AD 250. They lived in an area that stretched from Central Mexico to El Salvador, including Belize. Belize was once home to more than 2 million Mayas. It was the heartland of the Maya Empire. Sacred temples, pyramids, advanced science, agriculture, mathematics, palaces, and awesome structures are their legacy.
The ancient Maya are well known for their advanced knowledge of astronomy and the construction of large cities containing pyramids and other structures. Around 900 CE, this civilization came to a mysterious end; but their remains, are still found throughout Belize.
