What do you know about Maya? The Maya civilization is known
world-wide but not a lot of people know about the details.
Maya is a Mesoamerican civilization which was established during 2000BC
to 250AD. They had fully developed written language, art, architecture, and
mathematical and astronomical systems. Many people knew that calendar, writing,
and epigraphy is originated in Maya but their civilization developed them. Maya
influence is detected in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and western El Salvador. Mayans
did not conquest other countries but exchanged their culture by trade. From this,
I think that the Mayans are peaceful citizens and advanced country where people
possess gentle behavior.
The Mayans were collapsed by the Spanish in 16th
century, but still there are many Mayans survived until now. Some Mayans still maintain
their own culture such as clothing, religion, and language. They have their own
pride for being the Mayans. Even though they lost their country, they never lose
the mind of ‘peace-loving,’ so when a true peace leader, Man-Hee Lee visited
them, they give him a grand welcome. The leaders of the Mayans willingly signed
a peace agreement and expressed their desire for world peace.
Even in a difficult situation, 14 million Mayans were delighted to
work for the world peace. We must look after them, their broad mind-caring others
not only oneself-and think what we can do for this world.
