Maya lived in one of the most comfortable corners of our planet. They did not need warm clothes, they were satisfied with the thick and long strips of cloth with which they wrapped their bodies in a special manner. They fed mainly maize and what they extracted in the jungle, cocoa, fruit, game. They did not keep pets for movement or food. Wheel was not used. According to modern concepts, it was the most primitive of the civilizations of the Stone Age, before Greece and Rome they were far away. However, the fact remains that archaeologists have confirmed that during the mentioned period, this people managed to build several dozens of amazing cities on a large enough territory, far apart. The basis of these cities is usually a complex of pyramids and powerful stone buildings, entirely covered with strange mask-like icons and various dashes. The highest of the Mayan pyramids is not lower than the Egyptian pyramids. For scientists is still a mystery: how these structures were built! And why were such pre-Columbian civilizations perfected in beauty and sophistication suddenly suddenly abandoned, as if by command, by their inhabitants at the turn of 830 AD? At this very time, the center of civilization was extinguished, the peasants who lived around these cities, dispersed in the jungle, and all the priestly traditions suddenly sharply degenerated. All subsequent surges of civilization in this region were marked by sharp forms of power. However, we return to our topic. Those very Mayans who left their cities, fifteen centuries before Columbus invented an exact solar calendar and developed hieroglyphic writing, used in mathematics the notion of zero. The classical Mayas confidently predicted solar and lunar eclipses and even foretold the Day of Judgment.
