Book Synopsis Lost Knowledge of the Mayan Empire by : Henrick Perez
Download or read book Lost Knowledge of the Mayan Empire written by Henrick Perez and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maya people were one of the most sophisticated civilizations in Mesoamerica. They built many cities, pyramids and other structures that are still standing today. The Mayan Empire has been a subject of debate for historians, anthropologists and archaeologists because not much is known about their civilization. There are many references to the Mayan Empire making roads and that they have sophisticated technology. The authors claim that they've uncovered evidence that seems to support this claim. The contribution of this study is to reveal the ancient Mayan technology, which has been forgotten over time by the modern society. Some people claim that the Aztec civilization was more advanced than the Mayan civilization, but there is no evidence for this claim. The archaeological sites from both civilizations have not been excavated yet and therefore it is not possible to say if one civilization was more advanced than another one in terms of technology or engineering skills, as we cannot see all their buildings and other structures yet. The contributions of this thesis are twofold: firstly it will show how we can use satellite images to locate lost buildings and monuments; secondly it will show how archaeologists can use these images together with fieldwork to discover new information about these lost structures which were built centuries ago by our ancestors who lived long before us There are many references to the Mayan Empire making roads and that they have sophisticated technology. We have all heard the story of the Mayan Empire and how they were an advanced culture. Their roads are called sacbe (pronounced "sahk-bay"). These roads were built in the Yucatan Peninsula, Peten area of Guatemala and the Yaxuna area of Guatemala. The archaeologists claim that they've uncovered evidence that seems to support this claim. For example, one of the most significant pieces of evidence is a map made by an ancient Mayan group known as the Taino people. The two main kinds of roads were "sacbe" and "highways." Sacbes were the smaller, more local roads which connected cities to each other. They didn't have any pavement on them, but they're still considered roads by many Mayan scholars. highways are bigger and connect cities with each other.

Download or read book STEM for All Ages written by Sean Dwyer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brothers who invented the first successful aircraft were not Orville and Wilbur. They were preceded by the Montgolfier brothers 120 years earlier in a type of aircraft still in wide use today. 150 years before them, the Celebi brothers made the first survivable rocket and intercontinental flights. With the goal of providing an interesting learning experience, the book’s focus is not just on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). Also included is analysis of Cause & Effect and a lot of surprising history. So it is not just about HOW things work, it is also about WHY they happened that way, and the consequences. Roughly every 500 years new technology completely disrupts society, changing borders, laws, and the way people live and work. It happened again with the emergence of the Digital Age. Because aviation involves many fields of science, it is a particularly interesting way to show how STEM is a continuum of mutually supporting elements. Applications of chemistry, physics, astronomy, navigation, programming, and paradigm paralysis are presented in a hands-on understandable way.
Book Synopsis The Mayan Civilization by : Elizabeth Scholl
Download or read book The Mayan Civilization written by Elizabeth Scholl and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 4,000 years ago, in the tropical rain forest of Central America, the Mayan culture began to emerge. From small farming villages, the Mayan civilization grew into vast urban metropolises. Without the use of the wheel or metal tools and with no work animals, the Maya constructed five-story buildings, ornate temples, and 200-foot-tall pyramids out of stone. They had complex calendars, were expert astronomers and mathematicians, and played the world’s first team sport. Discover how this advanced civilization developed into cities with populations reaching nearly 100,000, and then how it mysteriously disappeared. Find out how the Maya built their homes, raised their children, made food and clothing, and worshiped their gods. Learn how they healed the sick, and how they played their ball games—to the death.
