Rise Of Empires: MayansSeason 1, Episode 2 - Mayans

More than 2000 years ago, the Mayans built gigantic cities in the middle of the jungle of Central America. They even built gigantic pyramids so large that it was long assumed that the huge structures in the jungle were mountains. They set standards in writing, mathematics and astronomy. Their inventions, such as the number zero or the domestication of the corn plant, still shape our lives today.
