The Mayans were located throughout Central America and Southern Mexico. At their height they covered vast territory throughout this area as can be seen with their remaining temples and cities discovered in the Jungles and forests of these areas.
Like the Aztec civilization that was to come later, the ancient Mayan civilization was based around city-states. Some of the major cities were Tikal, Copan, Chunchucmil, Bonampak, and Palenque. Long distance trade was developed, and the famous Mayan pyramids (temples) were built. The ancient Mayan people continued to develop the art, maths and science that they are famous for even today.
Where was it?Further south than the Aztecs would be, the Mayans dominated what are now the Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, and most of the Yucatan. The empire also stretched through northern Central America, including Guatemala, El Salvador, western Honduras, and Belize.
I had the privilege of visiting one of the largest Mayan cities many years ago - now called Caracol, in Belize. It is estimated that 200,000 Mayans lived here during the height of the city's power (around 700 AD). The great Caana complex there is still the largest man-made structure in Belize. Below is a picture I took several years ago - today the complex has been cleared off and can be seen in full.
