The Major scientific and Technological Achievements that

happened in Mesoamerica

Mesoamerica includes the entire area of Central America from southern Mexico up to
the border of South America.

Ch'olan the ancestor for the three-mile language that is still in use developed a
calendar of 18 20-day months plus, a set of five days” -Road Weldon lamb a retired
adjunct professor of anthropology at New Mexico state universe.

dry seasons the Maya could determine the best times to plant and harvest their
crops.”

the Mexico people also known as the Aztecs.

legendary land called Aztlan (hence the later adoption of the name Azteca or Aztecs)

Tenochtitlan were the last in a long migration from the parched American southwest
to the fertile Valley of Mexico the site of modern-day Mexico City.
