Mayan accomplishments were numerous and many were unparalleled at the time. Engineers produced remarkable architecture including flat-topped pyramids, temples, and towers. Artisans created elegant sculptures, paintings, and murals. Scholars developed an original writing system, which was used to record astronomical observations, chronology, and history. Mathematicians developed a system more advanced than any European system of that time.
