Full Description

Take a closer look at the myths surrounding a remarkable Mesoamerican civilisation that was centuries ahead of its time. Were aliens partly responsible for the Maya's pyramids? Did they really predict the end of the world? Why did they abandon their cities and return to the rainforest? Find all the answers in Factology: The Maya.

Visit the incredible buildings of the Maya's magnificent cities, many of which still stand today. Discover how the Maya made groundbreaking advances in farming, astronomy, mathematics, and writing, long before the Western world. Filled with fascinating facts and head-spinning mythology, kids will discover an adventurous world full of fearsome gods, brave heroes and unbelievable knowledge in this graphic guide.

Each volume in the Factology series provides a fast-paced and fun introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is clear, accessible and entertaining.

The KS2 and KS3 school curriculum is consulted when devising each volume, to ensure that the books cover important educational topics, making them a perfect teaching aid for learning history and STEM subjects.
