What did the Maya civilization have in common with Western civilization?

Answer: The development of a written language.

Archeologists still admire the way the Maya, an important Mesoamerican civilization, developed written language as a sophisticated way to communicate and leave records of its time on Earth. The Maya were great mathematicians, astronomers, warriors, and had the knowledge to develop a writing system that consisted of 800 glyphs(signs) related in columns that had to be read together to be understood: top to bottom and left to right.

The Maya civilization also developed an accurate calendar to understand time, its cycles, and seasons.
