However, the city of Tikal isn’t the only hint of Maya culture within Guatemala. Over the years, archeologists have discovered more and more remnants of this ancient society and managed to piece together a rather rugged timeline of Maya civilizations.

It’s long been noted that the Maya population spread across the likes of Mexico, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala for around 4,000 years, and during this time, they made their mark on the world. They built pyramids, they created infrastructure, they created their own languages, they wrote in hieroglyphs, and they even influenced the art and culture many of us take for granted today. Yet, we’ve only scratched the surface of what life was really like for those who lived in these Maya civilizations.
