Ancient Mexico and Central America were home to some of the earliest and most advanced civilizations in the western hemisphere.
This region is known historically as Mesoamerica, a term that refers to the geographic area and cultural traditions of the pre-Columbian civilizations of Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Maya civilization flourished in southern Mexico and Central America between AD 250 and 900, a time known as the Classic period.
The Maya built large religious centers that included ball courts, homes, and temples, and developed a method of hieroglyphic notation.

Although highly complex, this calendar was the most accurate known to humans until the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century.
