The first thing I will tell you about is the cocoa bean. The Mayan love the cocoa beans as much as the Oompa-Loompas did (We are reading Charlie and the Chocolate factory in novel studies!). They even used cocoa beans as money and using it for glue out of it and other groups would take from them.
Over time the Mayans changed by rulers and time going on and that’s what made their tech advances. The Mayans wanted to record their history and created their own hieroglyphics and we did in class with our name and birthday.
I think we still use some of their technology nowadays.
