This page will not reveal mission answers or spoil the ending.
History, living people and game story
The ancient Maya did not live under one empire. They lived in many towns and cities linked by trade, shared ideas, friendship and war. Maya people and languages are still here today.
The hero, private talks and order of events are made for the game. The Hero Twins scenes are one game version of an old story. They do not speak for every Maya group.
