Social Divisions:
[Political]
During the 9th century AD, the central Maya region suffered major political collapse, marked by the abandonment of cities, the ending of dynasties, and a northward shift in activity. No universally accepted theory explains this collapse, but it likely had a combination of causes, including endemic internecine warfare, overpopulation resulting in severe environmental degradation, and drought<span>.
</span>
[Language]
Before 2000 BC, the Maya spoke a single language, dubbed proto-Mayan by linguists. Linguistic analysis of reconstructed Proto-Mayan vocabulary suggests that the original Proto-Mayan homeland was in the western or northern Guatemalan Highlands, although the evidence is not conclusive. Proto-Mayan diverged during the Preclassic period to form the major Mayan language groups that make up the family, including Huastecan, Greater K'iche'an, Greater Q'anjobalan, Mamean, Tz'eltalan-Ch'olan, and Yucatecan<span>.
</span>
[Religion]
In common with the rest of Mesoamerica, the Maya believed in a supernatural realm inhabited by an array of powerful deities. These deities needed to be placated with ceremonial offerings and ritual practices. At the core of Maya religious practice was the worship of deceased ancestors, who would act as go-betweens for their living descendants in dealings with the denizens of the supernatural realm. The earliest intermediaries between humans and the supernatural realm were shamans. Maya ritual included the use of hallucinogens for chilan (oracular) priests.

Classic Period: The Classic period is largely defined as the period during which the lowland Maya raised dated monuments using the Long Count calendar.<span> This period marked the peak of large-scale construction and </span>urbanism, the recording of monumental inscriptions, and demonstrated significant intellectual and artistic development, particularly in the southern lowland regions. <span>The Classic period Maya political landscape has been likened to that of </span>Renaissance Italy<span> or </span>Classical Greece, with multiple city-states engaged in a complex network of alliances and enmities.<span> The largest cities had populations numbering 50,000 to 120,000 and were linked to networks of subsidiary sites.</span>

What aspects of romanesque architecture caused early scholars to call it roman-like?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Romanesque architecture is obsessed in semi-circular arches, massive walls, barrel wall roofs (barrel vault) and decorative arcades (succession or arches on a walkway). It is markedly different from Gothic architecture, which is characterized by use of pointed arches. If you are thinking about fairy-tale castles and stuff, you are probably looking at some elements of that architecture. Romanesque architecture flourished approximately 6th to 11th centuries, and it is widely adopted by castles, monasteries, and churches. It got its name probably because of the arches, which is a feature typical in Ancient Roman architecture. Actually, the word Romanesque was coined in the 18th century.
