Belize
is blessed with an outstanding archaeological heritage of Maya
temples and palaces. It is known that the Maya occupation began as
early as 1500 B.C., and although it began its decline in 900 A.D., some
Maya cultural centers continued to be occupied until contact with the
Spanish in the 1500's.

During the classic period (250 A.D. to
900
A.D.), the population of Belize exceeded well over one million people,
and it is believed that Belize was the heart of the Maya civilization
at that time. Although large Maya cultural centers no longer exist,
there is still a significant Maya population residing within many small
villages.
