Maya architecture is best characterized by the soaring pyramid temples and ornate palaces which were built in all Maya centres across Mesoamerica from El Tajin in the north to Copan in the south. The Maya civilization was formed of independent city-states and, consequently, there are regional variations in architecture but almost all buildings were constructed with a precise attention to position and layout and a general style prevails. Multi-level elevated platforms, massive step-pyramids, corbelled roofing, monumental stairways, and exteriors decorated with sculpture and mouldings of Maya glyphs, geometric shapes, and iconography from religion such as serpent masks are all typical features of Maya architecture. Interestingly, unlike many other cultures, Maya architecture makes no particular distinction between religious and non-religious buildings.

Arte-miy333 [17]

It is important to think and read like a historian because history gives us subsidies to understand man and his development as a historical being, that is, history helps to understand the facts and situations of a given time that contributed to the occurrence of relevant situations that shaped man's way of living and thinking in ancient times until the construction of the current reality.

Colonization, for example, is a historical fact that significantly affected the lives of people in North America by shaping the continent, through new ideas, goods and diseases brought by the Europeans who colonized the Americas.

Americans who lived freely were enslaved through a system of European exploitation for agricultural production for commercialization, and the institution of new values, behaviors, religion, development of medicine, etc.

Therefore, it is concluded that history helps us to understand the construction of a people through time and cultural formation, and enables men to develop critical thinking, ideas, understanding and paths for a more egalitarian, fair and tolerant development for all citizens.
