At about the same time as the Romans were ruling supreme in Europe, far across the Atlantic Ocean in the Yucatán Peninsula of Central America, another great civilization was emerging: that of the Maya. In the period 300 BC to AD 250, the Maya people founded cities in the tropical rainforests. They devised a system of writing and invented an elaborate calendar. They produced wall paintings and carvings, and built huge templepyramids and palaces. Although they had no wheeled vehicles, they built tracks through the forest. This is the story of a Maya city, how it began, was lost, and then found again.
