They also drew pictures to represent letters.
What would it have been like to live in the Mayan times?
It was very hard work for women and men, mainly because they were working all the time. Women would stay home sew, cook and clean, while the men would be out farming. It was even harder for the children as they would have nothing to do all day, because they did not have school, no homework or learn. So the children would have to help the adults with the farming, cooking and cleaning. It would be have been hard for children, women and men.
