Evolution of Maize Agriculture Corn or maize (zea mays) is a domesticated plant of the Americas. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans. Crops developed by Native Americans quickly spread to other parts of the world as well.

view!The most impressive Maya site is likely Tikal in Guatemala. These photographs show the buildings around the Great Plaza: the Temple of the Giant Jaguar (right-hand side; ca. A.D. 700), the Temple of the Masks (ca. A.D. 699), and the North Acropolis. At the heart of the Temple of the Giant Jaguar is the tomb of a high priest, buried with hundreds of offerings - vases, jade and so on. The sanctuary for worship at the top of the structure sits on a nine-tiered pyramid.
