Maya Pyramids |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The pyramids of the ancient lowland Maya served as artificial mountains and the sites of great myths, many with agricultural themes. Farming dominated the Maya world, providing food and forming the basis of the civilization’s economy. Rulers with the power to maintain agricultural prosperity could rely on continued loyalty from their subjects. | ||||||
