UL SSIS MW new We MAYAN SCIENCES CI' HE ancient Mayans were great mathematicians and astronomers. Opposite is a picture of a Mayan ball court temple, copied from one discovered in Chichen Itza. This building indicates that, although the Mayans developed many of the arts and sciences to a high degree, they never discovered the secret of the rounded arch. They used a flat arch extensively, and it is because of this fact that few Mayan temples are standing today. The abstract sciences, such as arithmetic, chronology, and astronomy, were highly developed. It would take too much space to study these fascinating fields of an- cient Mayan lcarningj so it must sujice to state that their system of Igeeping account of past time-that is, their chronology-was more accurate than anything lqnown in Europe, Asia, or Africa before the time of Pope Gregory XIII. It is an open question whether Mayan chronology, in the field of elapsed time, is not more accurate even than our own Gregorian calendar. IOHNS HARRINGTON
