The Maya civilization is a historical Mesoamerican civilization, which extended throughout the northern Central American region which includes the present-day nations of Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras and El Salvador, as well as the southern Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, and the Yucatán peninsula states of Quintana Roo, Campeche and Yucatán.\n\nOrigins\nArchaeological evidence shows the Maya had started to build ceremonial architecture by approximately 1000 BC. There is some disagreement about the boundaries which differentiate the physical and cultural extent of the early Maya and their neighboring Pre-Classic Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Olmec culture of the Tabasco lowlands and the Mixe-Zoque– and Zapotec–speaking peoples of Chiapas and southern Oaxaca. Many of the earliest significant inscriptions and buildings appeared in this overlapping zone, and evidence suggests that these cultures and the formative Maya influenced one other.\n\nThe earliest monuments consist of simple burial mounds, the precursors to pyramids erected in later times.\n\nEventually, the Olmec culture faded after spreading its influence into the Yucatan peninsula, present-day Guatemala, and other regions.\n\nThe Maya developed the famed cities of Tikal, Palenque, Copán and Kalakmul, as well as Dos Pilas, Uaxactun, Altun Ha, Bonampak and many other sites in the area (see list of sites, below). They developed an agriculturally intensive, city-centered empire consisting of numerous independent city-states. The most notable monuments are the pyramids they built in their religious centers and the accompanying palaces of their rulers. Other important archaeological remains include the carved stone slabs usually called stelae (the Maya called them Tetun, or "Tree-stones"), which depict rulers along with hieroglyphic texts describing their genealogy, war victories, and other accomplishments.\n\nFor more info see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Civilization#Origins

Maimonides explained this best.\n\nat first people worshiped G-d and only G-d. Then people said that the sun and the moon were power full creations of G-d and should also be given respect. After a while people kept adding on to things to be worshiped until people forgot that G-d was the original source.

Maize, a type of corn, was the Aztec's main food source. The Aztecs also ate tomatoes, avocados, atole (a type of porridge), tortillas made from maize, and tamales, a kind of envelope made from steamed maize stuffed with vegetables or meat. \n  \nAztecs also ate chocolate. In their culture chocolate was reserved for warriors and nobility. A drink of cacao mixed with ground maize was believed to provide stamina and was used in sacred rituals. Chocolate was a drink for the elite. \n  \nThe Aztecs ate twice a day and the main meal was eaten during the hottest part of the day. Some of the edible things available in an Aztec market were fruit, vegetables, spices, flowers, edible dogs, and birds. \n \n \nThe Aztecs had an alcoholic drink called octli. An octli gatherer would take the sap out of the maguey plant and put it in a large jug. Then they would let the sap rot and then they would drink it. Octli was reserved strictly for nobles, royalty, and warriors. Any nobleman who abused (got drunk from) the divine drink of the Aztecs would be put to death. A good vendor of maguey sap boiled it until it was like honey, while a bad vendor would water it down.

Well they pray to statues.  That is a pagan tradition.

Ancient sun worship is the origin of halos. Graphic arts of pagan deities used the halo to represent that the god was aligned with the life-giving sun. When Emperor Constantine co-opted Christianity for his purposes in his empire, he (& his puppet Pope, Sylvester), assimilated a lot of the paganism with the pagans.

Actually, it is the Maya calendar that is going to "roll over" to the next digit on 2012.  The Aztecs did not use this particular calendar.\n\nWe have absolutely no hard data on what the Maya believed might happen on this date.  What we do know is that some of their sacred texts project / prophecize events long into the future (AFTER 2012).  So we can be sure they did not feel this would be the end of everything.\n\nThe ancient Maya were very interested in cycles.  What came before may indicate what will happen in the future.  Therefore, keeping close track of time was important to their world view.  The change in 2012 is actually like their "millenium" event that we experienced in our year 2000.  As a technological society, there were many who worried about the Y2K apocalypse.  The ancient Maya would have surely celebrated / recognized / worried about / or otherwise noted this momentous change in their calendar.  But I don't believe that they would have claimed it was the end of the world.\n\nIf you are into crystals, astrology, or other new age phenomena, you may find plenty of info on the web regarding 2012.  But don't believe for a second that it is rooted in our true knowledge of ancient Maya prophecies.  The truth is we simply do not know what the ancient Maya believed would happen.  In fact, in this case, negative evidence is important.  If they really believed the world would end at the turning of their calendar, don't you think that there would have been some note of it in their ancient monuments or the prophetic books of Chilam Balam?\n\nAnd to answer your question directly.  No, I don't think the world is going to end.

Apocalypto. It's about the Maya and is entirely in their language.

In the 8th and 9th centuries AD, Classic Maya culture went into decline, with most of the cities of the central lowlands abandoned. Warfare, ecological depletion of croplands, and drought or some combination of those factors are usually suggested as reasons for the decline. There is archaeological evidence of warfare, famine, and revolt against the elite at various central lowlands sites. There is also conclusive geological evidence, found in shells recovered from Lake Chichancanab (in modern Quintana Roo state in Mexico) by a team from the University of Florida, showing that the area suffered the worst drought in 7,000 years in the 9th century; this meteorological event is apparently connected to that of northern Europe having suffered extremely low temperatures around the same time (the same connection between drought in the Maya areas and extreme cold in northern Europe was found again at the beginning of the 20th century). This evidence seems to support Dick Gill's theory that an unusually severe drought leading to a catastrophic decimation of the population was the driving force behind the collapse of Maya civilization  However, there is no single cause universally accepted for their decline.\n\nThe Maya cities of the northern lowlands in Yucatan continued to flourish for centuries more; some of the important sites in this era were Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Edzná, and Coba. After the decline of the ruling dynasties of Chichen and Uxmal, Mayapan ruled all of Yucatan until a revolt in 1450; the area then devolved to city states until the area was conquered by the Spanish.

Native American Shamanism.\n\nSpirits were in all of nature and controlled the season's change. They believed in an all-embracing deity that had no form and had little contact with humans known as the "All-Father" and "Great Spirit". Right now, the remaining Iroquois mainly believe in the Longhouse Religion... their code is found at http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/nam/handsome.html .

Most all Pagans believe in it. Shinto, Wicca, Asatru, Animism, Egyptian Pantheonic Religion, Greek/Roman Pantheonic Religion, Maya, Incan, Aztec, Shamanism, and many other religions believe in it.

Taoism can mean many things to many different people.\n\nAt its simplest, Taoists don't "worship" anything but strive for the balance in the universe.\n\nWhen Buddhism was introduced into China, certain Taoist sects borrowed many of the deities from Buddhism, while others did not.\n\nThis is a complex question much akin to asking What do Christians worship? Christians believe similarly but not all set the same precedence on Christ, the Trinity or the Lord.
