The Mayas were a complex civilization that existed in Mexico and nearby territories including part of Honduras. In terms of origin, it is believed ancestors of the Mayan people, as well as other tribes in the continent, descended from Asian people that traveled to America thousands of years ago. This was possible due to a natural land bridge that existed between Asia and America, which is known as the Bering Strait. In this way, Asian peoples migrated to America through this land bridge and then colonized the continent, which led to different communities including the Mayas.
