The Ancient Maya Civilization

The ancient Maya civilization ruled over 125,000 miles of land, touching on parts of Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Belize. Mesoamerican chronology tells us that the Maya established themselves during the Pre-Classic period (c. 2000 BC to AD 250). The civilization as a whole reached its peak during the Classic period (c. AD 250 to 900), and continued throughout the Post-Classic period until they were conquered by the Spanish..

Clearly, they were in tune with space, and their art depicts what we view today as alien visitors, and UFOs. I find it difficult to see any other translation, and that's partly due to their advanced living during those days. If this art was merely science fiction or tall tales for entertainment, how do you explain the same likeness and concept in other ancient and modern cultures that were unrelated in ancient times?
The Maya is a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for the only known fully developed written language of the Pre-Columbian Americas, as well as for its art,architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems. Initially established during the Pre-Classic period (c. 2000 BC to AD 250), according to the Mesoamerican chronology, many Maya cities reached their highest state of development during the Classic period (c. AD 250 to 900), and continued throughout the Post-Classic period until the arrival of the Spanish.
The Maya civilization shares many features with other Mesoamerican civilizations due to the high degree of interaction and cultural diffusion that characterized the region. Advances such as writing, epigraphy, and the calendar did not originate with the Maya; however, their civilization fully developed them. Maya influence can be detected in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and western El Salvador to as far away as central Mexico, more than 1,000 km (620 mi) from the central Maya area. The many outside influences found in Maya art and architecture are thought to have resulted from trade and cultural exchange rather than direct external conquest.
The Maya peoples survived the Classic period collapse and the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors and sixteenth-century Spanish colonization of the Americas. Today, the Maya and their descendants form sizable populations throughout the Maya area; they maintain a distinctive set of traditions and beliefs resulting from the merger of pre-Columbian and post-Conquest ideas and cultures. Millions of people speak Mayan languages today. In 2005 the Rabinal Achí, a play written in the Achi language, was declared a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. -WikiPedia
