The Maya and Aztec civilizations are referred to as "pre-Columbian" because they developed before the arrival of Christopher Columbus (1492). There are still many reasons why the Mayas disappeared, and the destruction of the Aztecs' traces by the Conquistadores resulted in the destruction of much of their debris. These ancient societies had writing, mathematics, art and architecture, as well as socio-political structures. Through five chapters, this guide seeks to give an accurate representation of these civilizations, highlighting key figures, social organization and rituals, daily life and religion.
