The Mayans began to create their civilization in the southern Gulf Coast region and present-
day Guatemala. The result was remarkable for its brilliant achievements. Although they had
no wheeled vehicles and no beasts of burden such as horses or oxen, they moved great pieces
of stone to build their temples. They had no iron tools; however, because they shaped their
stone blocks so skillfully, their pyramids still stand. The pyramids were the center of Mayan
religious ceremonies. The Mayans built many city-states, and the ruins of at least eighty have
been found. The tallest pyramid was as high as a twenty-story building. A small temple was
constructed at the top, where priests conducted ceremonies. These pyramids were surrounded
by plazas and avenues. The Mayans were able to build complex structures and to invent an
accurate calendar because they knew mathematics well.

concluding sentence
