Manuel and his history culture

Year 2,000 B.C

Dear Journal

Day1 It’s about 2,000 B.C May 13, 2009 when the Mayan civilization began. We need to find food and water. We walk for hours for the food and water, and then we found water it the first land that is nice. A few hours later and a group of animals came and try to kill my people, and it work. I like my brother when the animals attack. Well we have to find more land, so until I write again.

Year 250 A.D Day 1

Dear Journal

They really began to show advancement around A.D. 250 in Southern Mexico, El Salvador, and northwestern Honduras. That person that was writing in 2,000 B.C is dead after the animals attack the land of our people. If you are asking who am I will I am the grandson of the man who die in 2,000 B.C. In 250 A.D the Maya culture was made up of various groups of indigenous peoples who shared a common religion, practiced it’s rituals, shared a common calendar, and to some degree, a common writing system, although the ability to read one type of hieroglyphics. A few people like me can read the writings from all Mayan geographical areas. Just as the Mayas spoke several distinct dialects, their hieroglyphics also depict this difference. Its dark now and I’m getting sleepy, so until the sun comes up I come back again. From MM

Year 250 A.D Day 2

Dear Journal

I will write the culture of the Mayan. This is shown by the further development of their religion, the founding of Mayan cities, the advancement of their sciences such as an in depth knowledge of astronomy, their system of mathematics, development of a writing system, the invention of the calendar, and engineering feats such as the construction of pyramids. Not to be taken lightly is the fact that the Mayans built aqueducts. Perhaps the mere mention of an aqueduct spawns a mental image of an overhead Roman aqueduct, supported by columns. Again it dark, so until the sun comes up I write again.

Year 205 A.D Day 3

Dear Journal

The Mayan culture greatly advanced. This is shown by the further development of their religion, the founding of Mayan cities, the advancement of their sciences such as an in depth knowledge of astronomy, their system of mathematics, development of a writing system, the invention of the calendar, and engineering feats such as the construction of pyramids. Not to be taken lightly is the fact that the Mayans built aqueducts. Perhaps the mere mention of an aqueduct spawns a mental image of an overhead Roman aqueduct, supported by columns. Although at least one of this types was built and is still visible in the Guatemalan capital near the International Airport, the majority of their aqueducts were constructed at ground level. The use was to bring water to and throughout the city. They were constructed in the form of a “U”, made with rock, and were relatively small. Those seen today just inside the entrance of the ruins of copán are about 12 to 14 inches wide, and about a foot deep. It time for a sacrifice.

Dear Journal

It’s a lunar Eclipse and in a middle of a sacrifice. Mayans sacrifice for the gods. I think the god of the sun is angry because we did not sacrifice a mortal for him. To sacrifice him we need to cut open the chest and takes out the heart and it still pumps. Then we put the pumping heart into a bowl and cook it for the gods. Then when the body is not in use we push the body down the temple stairs. The journal is complete; I hope the future likes the writing I made. Thank you and I hope you like the writing
