So multiply the Maya
The Mayan civilization inhabited a vast region known as Mesoamerica, the territory now comprised of five southeastern states of Mexico that are, Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Yucatan and Central America, in the current territories of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, with a history of about 3,000 years.
During this long time in this territory hundreds of dialects spoken today generate about 44 different Mayan languages. Speaking of the "Ancient Maya" is referring to the history of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, most important, because his legacy is a worldwide scientific and astronomical. Contrary to widespread belief, the Mayan civilization never "disappeared." At least, not completely, as their descendants still live in the region and many speak one of the Mayan language family.
The Spanish conquest of the Maya was accomplished until 1697, with taking Tayasal, capital of the Maya Itza and Zacpetén, capital of the Maya in the Petén Ko'woj (modern Guatemala). The last Maya state disappeared when the Mexican government of Porfirio Diaz in 1901 occupied its capital, Chan Santa Cruz, thus ending the so-called Caste War.
The Maya have passed into history as a civilación greatly advanced for its time. Made huge advances in the field of architecture and science. It is said that excelled in astrology and mathematics.
