Mayan civilization was at its peak from 300 to 900 AD, building enormous monuments, producing jade and ceramic items of great beauty, with an advanced understanding of mathematics and astronomy. They developed a hieroglyphic script which scholars are beginning to decipher, allowing us to understand their achievements much more fully.
