The Mayan Civilization:

One of the prominent ancient civilizations was the Mayan Civilization. The Mayans used
their knowledge and astronomical discoveries to guide the design of their structures, including
their temples. The Mayans are renowned for raising a wide variety of crops, and with their
technological accomplishments, they produced tools that were innovative. They created the
loom, which is used to weave clothing, as well as a paint with rainbow glitter that came from
the mineral mica.

The Mayans discovered a lot more, from hydraulic systems to even the concept of the
number zero and positional values.

I would describe life in the Mayan Civilization to be mainly focused on their agriculture
as well as their religious activities.

The Incan Civilization:

The Incan Civilization focused more on their transportation advancements, mainly on

building roads covered in stones. This gave them the opportunity to trade easier and to acquire
the products that are not prominent on their land. They also created the suspension bridges
that connected to lands separated by a body of water. Although the Incan Civilization only
lasted for about one Century they are much known for their agriculture advancements, mainly
their crops since the Incans were mostly vegetarians, they did however domesticated a few
animals namely: llamas, alpacas, ducks, and guinea pigs.

The Incans did not have a written alphabet, rather they had the quipu which is a system
of knotted ropes to keep records that only experts were able to decipher.
 I could imagine that life during the Incan Civilization is focused on trade as they are well
known for their roads, and with the creation of a road system trade is always to follow.

The Egyptian Civilization:

The Egyptian Civilization was another prominent ancient civilization that existed along
the Mayan Civilization. They have several innovations in a variety of sectors. They are the first
civilization to put its language into writing. They were renowned for their use of an ox-drawn
plow in their farming, which aided in the cultivation of their crops. They are renowned for their
improvements in the field of medical as well as for having highly modern-looking makeup.

The Aztec Civilization:

The Aztec Civilization was renowned for its mandatory education system, which
provided children of all classes, ages, and genders with the chance to learn. They are well-
known in the medical field for their antispasmodic drugs, which helped relax muscles and made
operations much easier.

They constructed floating gardens, known as chinampas, to provide greater space for
farming. They had a huge harvest as a result of this, which considerably aided their crop
cultivation. The canoe and chocolate was another of their innovations. They also had the Aztec
calendar, which allowed them to schedule their celebrations, in addition to this.

Summary:

In conclusion, through the discoveries and advancements of these civilization they were
able to ease their work and become more productive. They were able to prosper during their
time and their lives became much easier though the application of their knowledge.
