Time Travelling s Aiken Talks Mayans... 18, I spent 4 months in Central America. One of the most amazing places I visited was normous, ruined Mayan city deep in the rainforest but with its pyramid temples still may have been dilapidated and overrun with howler monkeys, but even in its damaged w was incredible. The Mayans were around from roughly 400 BC until the 9th century e over 1000 years to pick from. I am no expert in Mayan history but women almost a tough life, so just to be a little safer I’d probably pick the year 511 AD. This was when Tikal ran out of sons and so crowned a queen as ruler of the city- she was known as the . Tikal had been one of the most powerful kingdoms of the Maya for around 600 years. I e to see the pyramids in all their glory; I’d be able to admire how they used the pyramids y of the skies, marvel at the way they worked out which pyramid mapped which stars, s they worked out how to get the setting sun to shine perfectly through the top of the ds on 21 June and 21 December. Some of the pyramids were meant to be covered in y would look unworldly in the sunlight. I would like to talk to the scholars of the Mayan k what made them invent the ‘number’ zero, and I would definitely want to spend some Lady of Tikal as so little is known about her. But mainly, I would sit on top of the highest watch an ancient city. yans had guacamole, hot chocolate and tortillas! They also invented one of the first ball oal of the game was to pass the ball around (without having it touch your hands) and through one of the hoops. Since the hoops were so high, and players were not allowed ands, it was extremely difficult to get the ball through a ring. In fact, when a player did et a ball through a hoop the game usually ended (a bit like Quidditch - if only Hogwarts eriod of history!). The ball did contain a human skull...but if you forget about that then I d be fun to watch. hen the game ends and the losing side is put to death as a sacrifice. And then there is acrifice in general, the lack of women’s rights, and the likelihood of having to eat be I don’t have the stomach for Mayan life. And being a vegetarian would definitely be if it is a one way ticket, then I think I would have to pass. The 21st century suits me fine!
