Mekayla May: Mayan News

This just in from Mayan central. The reasons the Mayans were great is because they didn't use metal for their tools and they built amazing structures that are still standing. Isn't this amazing! Stay tuned for this important broadcast. They made their tools out of stone, wood and shells. Some of their pyramids and other buildings were up to 200 feet tall! Many cities were built the same way. Each city had a marketplace, a large plaza where people gathered. Also, they each had pyramids, temples and at least one ball court and a palace for their city rulers. Some of where Mayans live is still there today. Two of the largest Mayan cities were Tikal and Copan. They also built palaces around there gardens or court for protection and privacy. Temples were used as homes and pyramids were used sometimes as things for the dead called tombs.
