6. Introduccion
Se conoce como la cultura maya o civilización maya al conjunto de los pueblos
precolombinos que gobernaron durante 18 siglos, desde la Época Preclásica (2000 a.C. –
250 d. C.) del continente, hasta la Época Posclásica (900-1527 d. C.), cuando se produjo la
Conquista de América.
7. Descripcion General de la Cultura Maya
Inventaron el único sistema completo
de escritura de América precolombina,
y desarrollaron un conocimiento propio
en materia
artística, arquitectónica, matemática, a
stronómica y ecológica Entre otras
cosas, se les atribuye la invención del

Fue una de las civilizaciones más
destacadas en la América

conjunto importante de ruinas y
un legado cultural que inspiró a
las culturas posteriores, parte del cual
aún sobrevive.
