    The ancient Maya civilization developed in Mesoamerica from around 1100BC, with the first settlements forming along the Pacific coast. By 700BC, village farming and trade had become established across the Maya region. The Maya developed a system of hieroglyphic writing by 300BC and began constructing pyramid temples around 100BC. At its height between AD250-900, the Maya civilization was dominated by powerful city-states like Tikal and ruled by noble families and kings. Contact with Europeans in 1502 marked the decline of the classic Maya period.
