Answer: Although they were immortal, they had many characteristics of humans.
The main factor was the utilization of raised field agriculture. They would build these fields that had been artificially raised to a certain height along a flowing water source (mostly rivers but occasionally streams as well in some cases). When tropical weather patterns would cause said water sources to flood, instead of washing away the crops, it would act as irrigation for the raised fields. Securing a steady food source allowed the Mayans to support a large civilization in the tropical regions they called home.
Answer:
Maya also farmed field raised up from the bajos, or low, swampy areas . They created these fertile farm areas by digging
The Maya created arable land by using a "slash-and-burn" technique to clear the forests. They planted maize and secondary crops such as beans, squash, and tobacco. In the highlands to the west, they terraced the slopes on mountainsides; in the lowlands, they cleared the jungle for planting.
During the renaissance, art, religion, science, technology and philosophy all changed.
In art, perspective and porportion made art more realistic looking. The subject matter of art also changed. No longer was all the art religious. For example, artists started to sketch nature and Leonardo da Vinci painted his famous Mona Lisa.
Before the renaissance, there was only one religion in Europe: Roman Catholic Christian. The renaissance/reformation changed that. Groups such as the Protestant, Lutherean, Anglican, and Calvinist religions started to pop up. They had different beliefs, practices, and ideologys, even though they are all branches of Christianity today.
Scientists like Galileo changed popular held beliefs about science. A scientific method for testing theories was formulated. The invention of the printing press ensured that information could be spread quicker and cheaper.
Finally, the renaissance is marked by a change in thinking. Previously, most people were fatalists, which meant that they believed their destinies were pre-chosen and nothing they did would change them. New thinkers called humanists believed that humans had freedom of choice and weren't as concerned with spiritual matters.
