Hello! Welcome to History in Eagles
We are learning about the Maya civilisation.
When they were around?
The Maya period started around 1800BC and ended around 1500AD.
Where in the world?
More than 2,300 years ago, the ancient Maya lived in North America and settled in Central America.
Who were they?
They were quite a sophisticated bunch. They developed a writing and number system, studied and created complex calendars. They also skillfully farmed their land and created a complex political system.
The Maya believed in gods. A god named Kukulan, gave the Mayans cocoa pods which when grounded, mixed with warm water and chilly peppers makes the gods' favourite drink. To launch our history project, we made chocolate truffles since the Mayans were the first people to have chocolate in their diet. We covered the truffles in cocoa powder and icing sugar.
I like the design on the chocolate boxes.Was making the chocolate truffles fun?
