The Mayans

The early Mayan people were smart. They built pyramids and they wrote books. They played games, too.

The Mayans lived in Mexico. They lived in the jungle area. They grew sunflowers and corn. The Mayans called the corn “maize.” They prayed to the “maize god” for food.

The Mayans built tall pyramids. They would climb stone stairs to the very top. You can still climb to the top of these pyramids today!

The Mayans wrote books on tree bark and they made art. They also played ball games. Offspring of the Mayans still live in Mexico today.
