Yucatan through the fascinating Mayan culture

If the ancient Mayan population is one of your obsessions, you surely are planning to go visit their ruins: colossal temples facing the beautiful Mexican seaside, miles of stone cities hidden in the deep jungle and gigantic constructions showing unique decorations carved in the stone: discover the Yucatan through the fascinating Mayan culture!

What the Mayas managed to create at that time is incredible, mysterious and fascinating at the same time. Indeed, no one can really explain how they could predict the future and establish such a perfect calendar like the one they based most of their temple decorations on. No one can really understand how they built such gigantic buildings without the help of technology, modern transportation, and in general without the means that human beings have access to today.

Just like the Pyramids of Giza, even the ruins of the ancient Mayan cities cannot be explained or fully analysed. Everything is fragmented and science cannot state anything for certain.
