There have been more documentaries and fiction movies, books and stories about them. This was partly fueled by the mythical Maya prediction of the end of the world in 2012, which for a short period of time put this civilization under the media spotlight. But there is much more to their culture than the common misconception about their calendar. And for a long time before the Maya caught the eyes of the wider population, archeologists and historians did their best to uncover and piece together the complete story about the Maya civilization.See all captivating history books here:https://www.amazon.com/author/captivatinghistoryFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/captivatinghistoryFollow us on Twitter: @CaptivHistory
