The Mayan civilization was mathematical wizards, highly skilled workers who were way ahead of their time.  In fact, the calendars we still use today were developed by the Mayans.  Keep in mind that they did not have modern day jackhammers, cement trucks, cranes, and other modern tools but with the help from oxen, llamas, and other animals, they were somehow able to construct massive cities that spanned across then jungle.  The fascinating aspect of this is that the degree of perfection is unbelievable, especially for that era. 

Today, you can see many of the spectacular architectural structures to include Chichen Itza, Copan, Palenque, Tikal, Tulum, and Uxmal, among others.  The pyramids, temples, observatories, and palaces were made completely void of metal.  Constructed by skilled farmers, huge areas of the rainforest were cleared.  Because groundwater was difficult to find, these workers dug out underground reservoirs that were used for storing water.  Click here to read more.
