The Mayans civilized in Mexico. The empire epanded to parts of Central America such as Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, around 1000 BCE. The Mayans had many capital cities due to the fact that, when the populations grew the Maya area was divided into many rival “chiefdoms”each of the chiefdoms had their own capital city and its own king as well. (Chiefdom is another word for village.)
