Show transcript
The Maya have a lot in common with other early civilisations from around the world.
They farmed, built great cities and temples, had rulers, worshipped gods and wrote things down.
However, they were also distinctive compared with other early civilisations e.g. they were a stone age society.
The Maya's advanced understanding of maths and astronomy and bloodletting was very important in their religion.
A good description of what made the Maya both similar and different will use knowledge from across this unit
