History:
=========
玛雅人具有高度的抽象思维能力，他们创造了数学体系采用20进位法，
也就是说我们采用 1, 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 of our mathematical system,
玛雅人采用 1, 20, 400, 8,000 and 160,000.
玛雅人天文历法系统（太阳历），以及至今仍有待我们去破译的象形文字系统。
每月 20天, and had two calendar years: the 260-day Sacred Round, or tzolkin,
and the 365-day Vague Year, or haab. These two calendars coincided every 52 years.
The 52-year period of time was called a "bundle" and
meant the same to the Maya as our century does to us.
260-天系统用于 预测未来，宗教， 365-day 系统用于季节，农业。
玛雅人 认为地球是平的，有四个角.
Each corner was located at a cardinal point and had a colour value:
red for east, white for north, black for west,
and yellow for south. At the centre was the colour green.
The Maya believed that when people died,
they entered the Underworld through a cave or a
cenote. When kings died, they followed the path l
inked to the cosmic movement of the sun
and fell into the Underworld; but, because they
possessed supernatural powers,
they were reborn into the Sky World and became gods.
与她奇迹般地崛起和发展一样，她的衰亡和消失也同样充满了神秘色彩。
公元800年左右，玛雅文明开始衰落，此后，文字得已失传，
现今在这块土地上生活的古代玛雅人的后代在文化方面已经
退化到新石器时代人的水平，对他们的伟大祖先创造的文化
一无所知。古代玛雅文明已成为一段湮没的历史，令人充满疑惑。
