This educational resource focuses on the mapping techniques used by the Inca and Maya civilizations, highlighting the innovative methods they employed despite lacking modern technology. The Inca, residing in the Andes mountains, created three-dimensional relief maps from stone and clay to represent the landscape, aiding in infrastructure development and natural resource management. In contrast, the Maya utilized celestial mapping, leveraging astronomical bodies to navigate and align their architectural structures, such as temples, during key seasonal events. Understanding their mapping practices provides insights into their agricultural strategies and administrative organization, particularly in terms of land use for farming and tax collection.
