The Maya Civilization Explained in 11 Minutes 

Mayans are not gone, man. They are still here and their language is one of the most important native languages of the country

Salutations from a House of Xela'ju, of Quetzaltenango. I am a Guatemalan Man (1st generation USA/Taldera) both my parents are Maya and I would like to thank you for sharing this video. Keep up the good works.

I'm adopted and never got to know much about my Guatemalan background. Im not too sure if im Mayan but ive been told i looked like im one due to my nose and forehead. Videos like these make me so happy and proud to be Guatemalan. Thank you :]

What did the Mayans know when they created their calendar??? * *shows picture of the Aztec calendar* *

Thank you for making it more clear for me as I’m writing an assignment about this Maya Civilisation.🙏🏾

The "Mayan Clendar" shown is the Mexica (known as Aztec) Sun Stone. This video has so many mistakes, unbelievable that you're selling a book, LOL.

As a Guatemalan, I'm proud to be native American, especially the mayan. My modern day tribe is call "kiche" . The spanish couldn't kill us!!!!

My tribe, called Muscogee, is purported to have a third to half of the same words in our language as Maya. When I was a child, my Grandmother told me that our tribe came from Mexico. We were the only North American tribe that wore a mustache, and the men had short hair.

there are so many mistakes and randomly put photos in this; as one commenter mentioned that the Aztec calendar was shown while he was talking about the Mayan Calendar (there were 3). Why the glorification of warfare, and the absolute brushing over of the effect of Spanish conquest?

The mayans were definitely my ancestors

Talking about the Maya but shows the Aztec Calendar...

If they have tombs they better not open it this year we don't need it

History is amazing and replete with ancient civilizations. Very informative video

You also could start reading the history book of the Hopi: "The history of the Hopi from their origin in Lemuria". This book describes that the Hopi migrated from Lemuria, the sunken continent in the PAcific Ocean, to the America's about 30,000 years ago! They claim to be the ancestors of the Maya and they wandered from Central to North America and back.

apocalypto brought me here saw the movie yesterday

Thanks for the debriefing!

little do we know the calander was read wrong and instead of 2012 it reads 2021

I’m Mexican but according to dna tests we are 60% native highland Chiapas Mayans

Thank you, great simplistic overview! Gracias!

It's really sad I haven't connected to my culture as a native Guatemalan

Indigenous Peoples are all very much alive today. Sure, some tribes have been wiped out. But countless others have resisted, banded together, and have kept their traditions alive to this day, including here in colonial USA. There are more than 5 million Native Americans here representing 574 federally recognized First Nations (or what you'd call "tribes"), and nearly each of them is distinct with its own culture and language. The state of California alone has the largest population of Native people in USA. There are 700,000 Indigenous descendants, currently representing 109 federally recognized First Nations in that state. Among the most populous First Nations in colonial USA are the *Navajo, Cherokee, Chahta, Chickasaw, Muscogee, Lakota, Dakota, Comanche, Apache, Cree, Blackfoot, Ojibwe, Mohawk, Inuit, and Wampanoag.* They're on the front lines preserving what's left of their cultures and languages, and also to protect America's last pristine natural habitats and resources from pollution and destruction. They just officially shut down the Keystone XL oil pipeline just a few months ago as of 2021. There are 70 million Indigenous people all over North and South America, including in Greenland and in the Caribbean. Some are mixed, but there are still many full blooded Indigenous people. There are 25 million Indigenous people within México alone. 2 million of them are Nāhuatl, and that is the shared language of the Aztecs, Tlaxcalans, Acolhuas, even the Toltecs in Mesoamerica. There are also 6 million Maya people representing 28 different Maya ethnic groups. Among the most numerous of the Mayas are the *K'iche'* and they're a million strong. The other Maya cultures are *Yokot'an, Màaya T'àan, Q'anjob'al, Kaqchikel, Tzʼutujil, Tzeltal, Tzotzil, Chuj, Ch'ol, Ch'orti, Itzá, Ixil, Achi, Mam, Poqomam, Poqomchi, Mocho',* and more. They are completely different from the Aztecs themselves. Southeastern México, Belize and Guatemala are largely populated by Mayas today! These are still their ancestral territories, despite what colonization did to the Mayas since their last independent city-state was destroyed in 1697 (Nojpetén, Peten Itza kingdom). South America's most numerous Native American ethnic groups are the Quechua and Aymara people. Their ancestors founded the Inca Empire or Tawantinsuyu in Runasimi, language of the Quechua. There are more than 12 million people combined from both of these Native ethnic groups, and they're all over Bolivia, Perú, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, and even Colombia. Let's not forget the Amazon too. Over 900,000 Native people still live deep in the untouched rainforests, and the ones who established first contact are from 300 different communities and more. That includes the *Arhuaco, Inga, Camsa, Lokono, Kokama, Mẽbêngôkre, Nukak, Panare, Pataxó, Ticuna, Warao, Waorani, Wayúu, Yagua, and Yąnomamö,* and hundreds more. Native Americans are all still here.

Thank you! I learned new things from this video!

You are best.you explane very well in simple words.

Anybody else got this as an assignment on google classroom?

Totoise worship by ancient Mayans is a close parallel to Kurma Avatar of Lord Vishnu .. Snakes and Tortoises are found in alomost all Mayan temples - Ekbalam ,Uxmal, Kabah, Tulum... may be many more .. all Anicent Native Americans (Mayans, Aztecs, Incas,...etc) and Asian Hindus are CONNECTED by Divinity, faith and spirit, religion, knowledge of Math, geometry, Temple architectures.. eating rice, vegetables.. since BC times..

I tried to watch this video thinking is accurate but after the first 35 seconds I spotted a wrong image of the Mayan calendar. Fail.

I am curious of the fact that maybe the Maya had higher technology that we know of. I believe they had access to "free energy."

I’m watching this for school but I’m reading the comments and eating candy 🍬 And it’s 10:07 AM😂

Thanks

What I find interesting is that the whole american continent developed completly independent to the Eurasian continent for the past 12000 years. Even with this completly independent develeopments their build structures and culture followed the same outlines of those in eurasia. This would mean that some ideas are just inherintly human and will develop idependently if given the right amout of time.

I love being mixed my moms from Haiti and my fathers from Honduras. So the research is crazy. But because Pops was not around I never learned Spanish so I never had any love for Spain. And then learning history really help me not caring about Spain at all or Spanish. Just a history so that brings me here

Must of been amazing. Captivating definitely plus fabulous.Like..

I read somewhere that the end is actually August 27 2020 with a different calendar

They would died in the world flood of 2348 BC .. They would of had to have started sometime after the tower of Babel in 2200 BC .According to researchers, the very first cities in the Maya region were developed as early as 750 BC

Who started using these BCE and CE? As if we need more confusion and fragmentation in conventions...

It's disappointing. It is full of images and data that are not from the Mayans but from the Aztecs. Those human sacrifices of prisoners on that stone correspond to the Aztecs, as Well as the bloodthirst. That calendar shown is also Aztec, although it is easy to get images of the Mayan ... At minute 8.30 you see an image of the conquest of the Spanish, but that's Tenochtitlan! (Aztec) that was connected by bridges... no Mayan city was like that. 🤦‍♀️

Mayan and South East Asia must have some connection because their civilization look like majapahit and sriwijaya

I love this!

Love this video but on 4.40 minute mark it is not the Mayan Calendar that was the Aztec Calendar.

Thank you for the maps!

Mayan calendar was started after Mahabharata War in Asia which took over 2 billions lives over 5000 years ago..

Way to mention Guatemala, where most of Mayan civilization was located

Ive been a Few days ago to Chichén-Itzá and the guide told us a little bit other Story

I just came here for my history class Yes I only watch history videos when its time for history

We’re still here 🇬🇹🇲🇽🇸🇻🇭🇳🇳🇮🇧🇿

Lol love the land bridge theory

Where the Spanish trying to look for the lost city of gold

I'm at class right now 😔🤭😣

Thank you so much for explain I love for nepal ❤

When I read History, I literally feel proud that India, Japan, China literally saved thier culture. Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia lost to Abrahamic Culture, American and Australia Continents lost to European. We may never understand the level of courage in these people who saved thier culture and history.

bru ty i have an essay abt the rise and fall of the maya civilization and this is what i needed exactly 🫸🫷

why is the Aztec calendar being identified as Mayan?

Thank you

Mayans and tamils the kumari kaandam, is the connection

Love from India

When do we know we have to use 'Maya' or 'Mayan' ?

Interesting and useful in class but the calendar you keep showing is Aztec!

Thank you 🙏🏽

Mayan K'iche here!!! 😊😊

The first American Inhabitants kept records which have been translated and published in the Book of Mormon.

Who did the Maya people worship and what are the 2 huge things Maya created

Jade actually isn't native to Tulum. The Mayans imported it from Guatemala :-)

Who’s here because of school?

~ Profond respect de cet esprit basé en Europe.

Trying to describe their civilization in 11 minutes is an insult.

🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🌊

In case you wonder why they built those pyramids, it's simply because the chief wanted them built

Their history culture is similar to olden One community called Nagas in India where their ancestor were headhunters, sacrificing humans to their God for their crops fertility and many similarities .. 💕

Mayans are not gone!!

Mayan religion is very similar to of India. Is there any chance these connected via trade or migration???

I am pretty sure the Spanish conquered the Aztecs.

who else is watching this for school

Wrong information about timing

I am honestly here for my words culture class... I’d rather be on weeb tik tok or drawing and chilling or watching netflix and chill.... to be honest this was actually helpful! But I’m not into history-

thanks

You do realize modern day Mayans exist and also there most recent descendants the tainos who travels from Yucatán peninsula into the Caribbean Sea into Dominican rep/ Puerto Rico It’s makes so much sense now why I look Mexican but was born in Dominican rep 🤣😭😭 I love our history it all lead back to mesoamerica

This history can be read in the Book of Mormon.

In sec. The 13th, a Sasmi research ship, came into contact with the Mayan civilization, violating the TigKra Protocol that forbade this. In 1250, the Mayan territories were devastated by a very powerful epidemic, which killed tens of thousands of people. Mayan leaders enlisted the help of their Sasmi friends. Sasmi researchers also sought help from the government, but were denied violations of international law, namely the Pastros Treaty and the TigKra protocol. To force things, the researchers embarked a delegation of Mayan leaders and took them to the capital, directly in front of Queen Munre. In the end, however, as the death toll increased, the Sasmi authorities decided to evacuate part of the Mayan population, so as to ensure its survival. In 1251, an expedition of 50 cruise ships and several dozen warships escorting them arrived in Earth orbit and began evacuating 200,000 Mayans from 40 cities. The only condition was that the people chosen for departure should meet certain criteria, such as age, health, etc. Thus the Mayan civilization was installed on the planet Trador.

They say aliens helped the mayans put their pyramids but u never know just that God bless all people

"A common weapon used by the mayans was the *Adeladle* "

Byju's advertisement discourages

I thought the Mayans were already gone by the time the Aztecs arrived on the scene 🤔

Give me a full

So many things wrong with the "opinions" in this video. If you know anything about Mayan history and the Nahuatl language, you'll understand.

I am a mayah out of cape verde or cap vert

They went into the Inner World.

Weren’t the Mayans gone by the time the Spanish came ?

That’s the Aztec calander. Not Myan

I love being spoon fed lies and attempting to believe them. Makes me feel normal.

This prove the savige side of eourpian

Your watching this for Social Studies

They meant “the other way of #civilization and you know what?! They are correct”

Yeah i have to do question about it

The 🌙brought the chariot. Death and transformation ⚖✨union ⚖✨galaxy ✨💜♥

It wasn't the end of civilization rather it was the beginning of something else . . . MAATLA

Nickel at 636

Is the nature and cruelty of the Mexican Cartel the same as the nature of the Mayan tribe...?
