The Maya civilization, one of the most splendid ancient cultures, emerged deep within tropical rainforests. Unlike river-nurtured societies, it became renowned for its towering pyramids, palaces, ball courts, sophisticated hieroglyphic system, and intricate calendar. Across 350,000 square kilometers, dozens of Maya city-states rose and fell in the humid jungles, leaving enduring mysteries. The Maya were exceptional scientists and natural philosophers, observing time's flow while contemplating cosmic laws, life and death, and divine-human relationships.

Henan Museum's “Mayas, Ceiba y Cosmos” focuses on the Classic Period (200-900 CE), featuring 209 artifacts from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History and five museums. The exhibition employs the conception of the “Ceiba tree” worldview to reveal their civilization through religious beliefs, political structures, and concepts of life and death. It showcases Maya achievements in art, science, and architecture, illuminating ancient Mexico's immortal cultural legacy.
