Answer 1

Consider a project on the ancient Mayans, resident in most parts of what is now called Mexico.

Near Cancun, Mexico is one significant remnant - an awesome monument to History - of a once great empire.

Although Spanish invaders destroyed most of the records, there is no disputing the greatness of Chichen Itza, a mecca for history buffs and archeologists alike.

A city constructed of natural limestone once flouished here, built around a cenote (sacred well). The great pyramid, equivalent to a 10 storey building is the focal point, and during the twice annual equinoxes of spring and fall, is host to camera crews from around the world, as the perfectly designed structure built 1000 years ago casts a shadow down it's high and narrow steps to display the gradual joining of the serpent's shadowy body to the stone carved head at the foot of the steps. Perfect mathematicians describe the ancient Mayans, architects of this gradual visual display which begins at day break and ends at sunset. It's a challenge to now imagine such impressive and ancient engineering amidst this steamy jungle setting.

Within short distance is the playing field, where ancient rituals of fertility were viewed from each side of the field by high ranking members. Not very amazing - except that these highly placed viewing parapets, several hundred feet apart, were joined only by perfect accoustical connection where even a whisper could be heard from end to end. The wall of heads is a somber reminder of a more visceral nature resident within the walls of this otherwise advanced civilization.

Further on, where modern adventurers once took machetes to remove the vast undergrowth, lies an observatory, home to discoveries which rival today's most powerful telescopes. Ancient Mayans must have been profoundly intrigued by the night skies and celestial bodies hovering overhead. Their mathematically perfect calendars lie in testament to this preoccupation.

And at the bottom of the sacred cenote lie many golden trinkets - historical remnants of the Mayan's fervent quest to appease the gods and secure immortality.

I think you might find Mayan history interesting!
