The Mayan civilization has always been a suspense in the history of world civilization. There are too many legends surrounding this mysterious tribe in the tropical rain forest that suddenly disappeared, and how they built it. How to create your own calendar after leaving the pyramid, and how to suddenly disappear. Some people say that the Mayans are the descendants of aliens who came to the earth. Some say that the disappearance of the Mayans has set back world civilization for decades. There are also pictures of mysterious Mayan crystal skulls being circulated everywhere. No matter how much of this is true or false, at least the Mayan civilization, like all ancient civilizations in the world, is a valuable asset.
