The Mayans History
The Mayans lived in Guatemala in the 1500’s. They pronounced the Spanish alphabet to a drawer so he could draw glyphs for the alphabet. They had temples and tombs that had stories writhen in glyphs. When the archeologist uncovered the tombs/ grave a bunch of grave robbers stole jade green jewelry from the bodies. The last king of the Mayans was the first dawn. In 1997 a tomb was found at the bottom of the center of the town in the most sacred spot in the city. The remains of Macaw was the founder of the city. The Mayans were a sophisticated tribe. The end of their tribe or city is unknown for the archeologist are still figuring.
