Mesoamerican cultures varied from small farming villages to entire empires with kings, cities, and vast trade networks. Some built elaborate pyramids and monuments, developed calendars and writing systems, and had ritual ceremonies for their gods and ancestors. The development of elaborate civilizations required agriculture and a varied food supply before civilizations had time for building monument and carving jade. Trade with the Maya provided goods like chocolate, feathers, and jade to the Aztec Empire. Investigate Mayan hieroglyphics presevred on stone stelae, altars, pottery, and bark-paper books.
