The Maya people lived in Mesoamerica which is made up of Mexico and part of Central America.

The Maya people are remembered for amazing creations, like their spectacular buildings and beautiful objects made from jade, a rare and valuable material.

They also invented groundbreaking ideas which have helped shape the way we live our lives today. For example, it’s thought that the Maya invented the idea of?'zero'.

The modern name for the Maya ancient city Yax Mutal was Tikal. Tikal was home to thousands of Maya people. Some of the city's ruins still stand today, including the temple of the Great Jaguar.

The Maya civilisation survived until 1600AD when they were conquered by Spanish invaders.
