Their Own Cities
Not too different from modern countries today, the Mayans had their own cities, each with their own government body. You may have even read or heard about these cities, like, El Mirador, Tikal and Caracol.
Between Gods
Kings ruled each of their cities, and they played an important role not just in the governing and rule of these cities. The Mayans believed that kings were the mediators between the gods and the people.
