MAYA
Understanding the sky
Among the forests and highlands of Mesoamerica, the Maya built great cities and developed one of the most complex cultures of the Americas.
Writing, mathematics and the observation of the sky allowed them to record time, interpret its cycles and better understand the reality they inhabited.

The observer of the sky
The Maya observed the sky with extraordinary precision.
The path of the Sun, the phases of the Moon, and the cycles of Venus helped them manage time, set ceremonies, and identify key moments in the life of their community.
For them, the sky was not separate from life. It was part of it.

Each dawn set time in motion again.
Its course marked the days and the cycles.
The Sun gave light to the world. And also a measure.
