Guide to the Cities, Science, and Secrets of the Ancient Maya — With Real Images, Maps, and Activities for Young Explorers

Step into the jungles of Central America and discover one of history’s most fascinating civilizations.

The ancient Maya built towering pyramids, created advanced calendars, studied the stars with remarkable accuracy, and developed a writing system long before modern technology existed. Their cities were once home to tens of thousands of people, and their achievements in math, astronomy, and engineering still amaze historians today.

Written especially for young readers, this guide brings the Maya world to life with real photographs, detailed maps, and clear explanations that make history easy to understand and exciting to explore. Combined with fascinating facts and interactive activities, kids will learn how the Maya lived, what they believed, and how their civilization thrived for centuries. No history degree required — the book does the heavy lifting so you and your child can explore together.

Inside this book, young explorers will discover:
  • Amazing Maya Cities: How the Maya built incredible cities like Tikal, Palenque, and Chichen Itza deep in the jungle.
  • Stargazing Without Telescopes: How Maya astronomers tracked the stars, planets, and eclipses with remarkable accuracy.
  • Calendars and Mathematics: The secrets behind the Maya calendars and their groundbreaking number system.
  • Daily Life in a Maya Village: What life was really like, from farming and cooking to markets and festivals.
  • The Famous Ball Game: The legendary Maya ball game and why it meant far more than just sport.
  • Ancient Foods: The foods the Maya ate, including maize and cacao — the origins of chocolate.
  • Mysteries Still Being Solved: Mysterious ruins, lost books, and the discoveries archaeologists are still making today.
  • And much, much more!

Each chapter also includes fun activities and questions that help kids check what they’ve learned and start thinking like real historians and explorers.

The ruins may be hidden deep in the jungle, but their story is still waiting to be discovered.
