The Ancient Maya |
The Modern Maya |

|
For millennia the Maya lived in what is now the lowlands of Guatemala, Mexico, Belize and Honduras. For reasons still not full understood, around 900 AD their society collapsed and cities abandoned. While their social structure disappeared, the Mayans did not. |
|
To this day millions of Mayans live in southern Mexico and Guatemala, however it is in the highlands of Guatemala where the greatest number of Mayans live. There most Mayans speak one of 21 Mayan languages and live an essentially traditional way of life. |
