1. Before the ruins at Nake was discovered, archeologists thought that Mayan civilization began before 200 B.C. Now, they believe that the Mayan civilization began before 600 B.C.
2. When archeologists reached the Mayan city of Nakbe, they found remains of a huge stone pyramid and several other buildings and temples. They also found thousands of stone tools, animal and human figurines and fragments of ceramic pottery. They also found discovered an elaborately carved limestone slab that depicts two kings in full royal costume facing each other, with one of them pointing a finger at a god above them.
3. Two discoveries that showed how important religion was in the Mayan culture was:
I. The stone slab.
II. Ruins of temples and monuments that were believed to be used as religious ceremonial centers.
4. I agree that history is the story of people in the past and that history never changes because we cannot change history. History records the stories and lives of people who lived a long time ago. History is the written story about actions and events done in the past. History remains as valuable lessons and mistakes we should learn from in order to prevent undesired events from happening again in the future.
