The Mayans were found to be a very highly developed civilization. They lived in the jungle of Mexico and Central-America. The Mayan culture was the most developed culture in the whole of ancient America. This culture ruled Peten's and Jukatani's peninsula for thousands of years. The Mayans were very intelligent as evidenced by their books, canendars, study of astronomy, and number system.

They were also astronomers and had a great deal of understanding about the movement of the stars to the point that they were able to predict the positions of stars thousands of years in advance. Not only that, but they developed a calendar system based upon the movement of the stars that would go on to 

regulate the way that they ran their lives. They had accurately measured the length of the year by the sun, to a far higher degree than any European civilization, and had made hugely precise observations of the heavens.
