Mayan Cultures

I think that the Mayan culture is different from other cultures because they build pryamids for their gods.They understand and study astrology. They also draw different figures.And they also
live in Mexico unlike other civilizations back then.

I think that the Mayan culture is different from other cultures because the Mayans used different images to describe what they are saying and they built big pyramids like the one in Chichen Itza.

I believe that the maya culture is different from other cultures because the Mayan's created their own writing system and calender system.

The Mayan civilization & the civilizations we learned about so far are alike in some ways, like the fact that they established their own beliefs,and that they drew pictures & created sculptured drawings to explain things without words.

The Mayan culture is in some way like the Epytians. They both used symbols and images to say things and to draw. Also, both cultures build pyramids. The Mayan culture was very civilized.

the mayan culture is sort like the egyptian culture to me, because they both use images/symbols to communicate and make their own language and or alphabet. they would also create pyramids for their gods. they adapted to their environment and used their surroundings to survive.

I think the Mayan culture is different from other cultures because they have a unique calander and writing system. However, I think they are similar to the Egyptians because of the way they modeled their architecture.. It is similar to the pyramids.

!Hw!
the mayans had the most accurate calander in the ancient world. It had 19 months, each month had about 20 days and there was 1 month that had 5 days that were said to be unlucky.

I think the Mayan culture is different because I don't know any other culture that attacks nearby cities.They worshiped gods,when the other cultures didn't really worship anything.
They are also the same because they traded like some of the cultures we learned about.

Michelle said...

Also they are more like Egyption people.Not really anything like the cultures we learned about.
They have one more thing in common with the other cultures we learned about.They are all native American people.

I think the mayan cultures are different from the other cultures because if they were all the same then it would be boring and then all stuff that happened back then would not have happened and only god knows if the fights and bat-tles never happened then we would not be here today and there would be no history and then we would not have history class. Anyway the Mayans cultures was different because they had a lot of images to describe what they would be sayiing and they use to build BIG pyramids just like the one in Chichen Itza.

Mayans are the same as the egyptians. But they live in different continents.
