Exploring history through the Mayans

This week we have been learning all about the Mayans.  We have found out some interesting facts about their society, and about chocolate. Did you know that the Mayans were the first people to discover that the Cacao bean was edible, and that they used the cacao beans for money?  Believe it or not, they even used chocolate as medicine.
We recorded our facts on a codex.  Codices were how the ancient Mayans used to write.
