Lost Knowledge of the Mayan Empire

The Maya people were one of the most sophisticated civilizations in Mesoamerica. They built many cities, pyramids and other structures that are still standing today. The Mayan Empire has been a subject of debate for historians, anthropologists and archaeologists because not much is known about their civilization. There are many references to the Mayan Empire making roads and that they have sophisticated technology. The authors claim that they've uncovered evidence that seems to support this claim. The contribution of this study is to reveal the ancient Mayan technology, which has been forgotten over time by the modern society. Some people claim that the Aztec civilization was more advanced than the Mayan civilization, but there is no evidence for this claim. The archaeological sites from both civilizations have not been excavated yet and therefore it is not possible to say if one civilization was more advanced than another one in terms of technology or engineering skills, as we cannot see all their buildings and other structures yet. The contributions of this thesis are twofold: firstly it will show how we can use satellite images to locate lost buildings and monuments; secondly it will show how archaeologists can use these images together with fieldwork to discover new information about these lost structures which were built centuries ago by our ancestors who lived long before us There are many references to the Mayan Empire making roads and that they have sophisticated technology. We have all heard the story of the Mayan Empire and how they were an advanced culture. Their roads are called sacbe (pronounced "sahk-bay"). These roads were built in the Yucatan Peninsula, Peten area of Guatemala and the Yaxuna area of Guatemala. The archaeologists claim that they've uncovered evidence that seems to support this claim. For example, one of the most significant pieces of evidence is a map made by an ancient Mayan group known as the Taino people.
