another very important differences are men act more quikly than women because the men have better rule of car in difficult moments for example: when the car go to a thing road the men resolve best this situation.


definitely both sex can drive a car but mens have more control efficient and pacient in stress moments and this decrease accident stadistic in Bogota.

RITUALS AND ENTERTAINMENT IN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION

The Musical instruments included drums, pipes, and a high-pitched whistle. The Maya worshiped many gods and goddesses. One Maya manuscript mentions more that one hundred and sixty of them in contrast with religion played a central part in the daily life of the Maya. Each day in the Maya year had a special religious importance and religious festivals in honor of particular gods took place throughout the year. The Maya regarded their gods as both helpful and harmful. To obtain the help of the gods, the Maya fasted, prayed, offered sacrifices, and held many other religious ceremonies.


In other aspect writing in the New World did not originate among the Maya, they gave writing its greatest refinements. What Mayan writing seems to represent is a sacred language used only by the elite, initiated, and known only by them. The language of the Mayan was identical with that of the Yucatan Indians, given the fact that writing was identical. The Maya kept records on large stone monuments called stelae. They used the Steele to record important dates and to take note of great events in the lives of their rulers. Take from http://www.essaymart.com/essay/45a8050c1080f.html

CONTRAST AND COMPARE ESSAY ABOUT HEROES AND INVENTIONS




The Mayan invented a solar civil calendar including three hundred sixty- five days. The accuracy of the Mayan calculations is all the more extraordinary in view of the fact that they had no knowledge of glass or metals. They had no precision instruments available to them. Their tools were polished stones that very closely resembled tool from our Neolithic Age In contrast with this Maya made small sculptures of clay and carved huge ones from stone. Some of the large sculptures stood over thirty feet high. Early Classic stone sculpture usually features a single Maya ruler celebrating his reign. Many fine carvings on small jades, shells, and bones were warn and used by nobles. Maya artists decorated walls with brightly colored murals that featured life like figures. The Maya also built large, low buildings where chiefs and priests probably lived before important ceremonies. Maya architectural forms were derived from domestic architecture. The shrine and platform of the pyramid grew from the house form, and the Maya corbel arch, often called a false arch, preserves the hip roof in the stone. Highly skilled architects built tall pyramids of limestone, with small temples on top... The Maya produced exceptional architecture, painting, pottery and sculpture. Most of what is known of Mayan art forms comes from archeological discoveries of ancient artifacts.







On the other hand Many people see the story of the Popol Vuh is the story of extraterrestrial Gods who came down and made man in his own image. When they first made man he was so perfect - living as long as they did - he could see far and wide - clairvoyant - and was as perceptive as they were.



They realized that they had made a competitor who was as wise as the Gods themselves. So they destroyed him and started over creating present day man. Modern man lives shorter lifetimes, is not as smart, and is here to act as a servant race to the Gods like this:




  • Quatzequatel: Winged God
    Mayan god Thoth and Quetzacotal were the same person, Thoth was identified to Atlantis, Egypt, Sumer, then later was identified to Meso America and Peru as Quetzacoatal.



  • Chac
    Mayan god Chac was the god of rain. He was a benevolent god for the Mayans who often sought his help for their crops. Chac was associated with creation and life. Chac was also considered to be divided into four equal entities. Each division represented the North, South, East, and West. Chac was also apparently associated with the wind god, Kukulcan. Some debate persists as to whether or not Kukulcan was just a variotion of Chac.



  • Another Sun God - Kinich Ahau
    Kinich Ahau was the Sun god. He was the patron god of the city Itzamal. Supposedly, he visited the city at noon everday. He would descend as a macaw and consume prepared offerings. Kinich Ahau is usually shown with jaguar-like features (ex. filed teeth). Kinich Ahau also wears the symbol of Kin, a Mayan day. Kinich Ahau was also know by the name Ah Xoc Kin, who was associated with poetry and music. take from:http://www.lost-civilizations.net/mayan-gods.html

WORK AND LIFE MAYA

The ancient Maya were a group of American Indian peoples who lived in Southern Mexico. Their descendants, the modern Maya, live in the same regions today. Agriculture was the basis of the economy of the Mayan and corn was the principal food. Other crops included avocados, tomatoes, and chili peppers. They cultivated an enormous variety of plants. In hieroglyphic writing, astronomy, and mathematics, the Mayan Indians were far ahead of any other people in the New World. Mayan cities served as centers for the surrounding countryside. The people gathered in the centers for important events such as markets and religious festivals. The Maya had no schools. The children learned by observing adults and helping them. Maya farmers lived in rural homesteads for small villages near their fields. They built their houses from poles all tied together. The man could have two or even three wives. Each one would tend to her own fire and cook for her own children. Entire Maya families, including parents, children, and grandparents lived together. Everyone in the household helped with the work. Very little is known about the government of the Maya. Each Maya city governed itself and the area around it and larger cities may have had control over several smaller cities. The rulers of the government probably consisted of both chiefs and priests. The Maya never united to form a central governmental unit. As population rose, the nobles of the independent city states both intermarried and made war on one another. Ultimately, the system of rule that had served the Maya for centuries had failed. Faced with famine, foreign invasion, chronic warfare, and perhaps disease, an era ended what is generally called the Classic Maya collapse.
Archaeologists have recently shown that the Maya began to develop intensive agriculture and sophisticated water management during the Middle Preclassic. The early Maya gave great gifts to the people who followed. Some four million or so Maya speak one of the thirty or more Mayan languages and retain traditional customs, diet, dress, or housing. For most of the 20th Century, only the extensive calendrical data of the Maya could be read, and as a result, Maya scholars hypothesized that then inscriptions were pure calendrical records. Because little evidence of warfare had been recognized archaeologically, the Classic Maya were thought of as peaceful timekeepers and sky watchers.
