WELCOME!
The Mesoamerican civilizations
Years people have studied the civilizations that were here in America before Christopher Columbus stumbled upon it.
There have been many major discoveries during the course of research. Some things include huge temples that were dedicated to their gods, calenders to keep track of the days and seasons, and even gold--lots of it!
All these things we see and hear about and take for granted their being there. We don't stop to think about when and where, or even how they came about. We don't think about the sacrifices the civilizations made and what we have learned today just from studying them. They have contributed to our society in many ways.
Through this our hope is to educate you and bring understanding to this past, which is part of all of our past. So next time you hear about either the Mayas, Aztecs, or Incas, you will be able to grasp the concept of a different world.
