Os sacerdotes maias detinham grande poder pois além de possuírem autoridade religiosa, que era de extrema importância para a sociedade, possuíam muito conhecimento científico.

Eles executavam um cargo de grande importância que era o de conduzir os sacrifícios e as oferendas que eram feitas ao decorrer das cerimônias religiosas.

Além do mais, eram eles que eram responsáveis pela forma em que eram transmitidos os conhecimentos e as técnicas oriundas daquele povo.

O grupo dos sacerdotes pertencia à nobreza da sociedade Maia, também por isso eles eram tão prestigiados e respeitados pelo resto da população.

The Chou Dynasty is known for belief that gods gave emperors the right to rule

Explanation:

  • Because of the violent disruption of the dynastic sequence, the Chou rulers were most worried that the Chinese would accept them.
  • In order not to turn out ordinary usurpers of power, they introduced the idea of a heavenly mission, according to which the gods themselves participate in the establishment and replacement of dynasties, and the ruler becomes a heavenly messenger.
  • According to the idea of a heavenly mission, the gods support a good and just ruler, and if a dynasty loses power, it means that it has become bad and deserves to be overthrown, and that is exactly what happened with the Chang Dynasty (as claimed by the Chou Dynasty).
  • From this period the Chou Dynasty and further the idea of a heavenly mission will be used as a reason for the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties.
