How the Mayans were able to accurately predict solar eclipses for centuries
The Maya Civilization, from Central America, was one of the most advanced ancient civilizations, known for its significant achievements in astronomy and mathematics. This includes accurate calendars and detailed celestial records, but scientists don't fully understand all the details of their calculations. However, new research is shedding light on how they predicted future eclipses with remarkable accuracy.

FlávioRéplicas em miniatura feitas em resina da "Serpente Emplumada". Para os astecas, "Quetzalcóatl". Para os maias, "Kukulcán"! É um dos deuses mais importantes da mitologia mesoamericana, representado em diversas construções dos povos pré-hispânicos! A foto do livro mostra sua cabeça entalhada em pedra, em uma pirâmide na antiga cidade de Teotihuacan (México), datada de 250 d. C.

Mixing up Aztecs with Mayans is about the same as mixing up the French with the Czechs.
