Maya History

Largely forgotten for centuries, the ancient Maya were incredible. Their cities across Central and South America featured astonishing pyramids and palaces, while they were also successful farmers and highly creative artists. The Maya were the first people in the Americas to learn how to read and write, and they invented things like rubber, chocolate and chewing gum. They had a deep understanding of astronomy, mathematics and timekeeping, though they also had some horrible, bloodthirsty traditions such as making human sacrifices.

Across the world, women are still denied opportunities and rights. Maya Oppenheim supplies you with the unforgettable realities, real-world anecdotes and tales of resistance to help you combat denial and continued injustice as the far-right grows and women's rights come under attack.

Chi sono i Maya? Cosa realmente si sa della loro civiltà davvero unica che per molti aspetti è ancora avvolta nel mistero? Furono un popolo organizzato in classi sociali, combattivo, con conoscenze scientifiche avanzate dal punto di vista matematico e in particolare astronomico. Conoscevano l'arte divinatoria e con i loro famosi calendari di pietra erano in grado di prevedere eventi futuri. Gli avvenimenti predetti e documentati che poi sono realmente accaduti, sono numerosissimi.
