Pre-Columbian Civilizations

The old Civilization of Colombia has prosperous for thousands of years before the Europeans reached the New World. Empires such as Aztec, Maya, Inca lived in a vast area of ​​Latin America. Before Columbus and Cortez were born, the three major powers dominated the land. The civilization before the Columbus and the Europeans had similar ideas, but the life of the New World was very different from the medieval life in Europe. There are three major civilizations in the New World: Aztecs, Maya, Incas.

Excellent cultural accomplishments of civilizations before Colombia are often compared to the cultural achievements of old world civilizations. For example, the ancient Mayan calendar exceeds the European Julian calendar with accuracy. This shows exceptional knowledge of Mayan astronomy and mathematics. Equally impressive is the Inca calendar and the complexity of its highway construction, the development of Maya's complex writing system, and the spectacular temple of Aztec. Unfortunately, archaeological discoveries and written documents do not reveal the education of Maya, Aztecs and Incas very much. However, as can be seen from the available documents, these pre-Colombian civilizations are clearly formal education for raising nobility and pastors. The main objectives of education are cultural protection, vocational training, moral and personality training, and cultural deviation management.

Although they are an ancient country, they have been dominated by regional forces through the history of urban culture in South America. They began to expand their influence from the 12th century to the early 16th century and dominated more territories than any other country in the history of South America.

So far, when the Columbus arrived, the "New World" was nothing new, it was a cliche, but little is known about the extent of civilization before Colombia. Millions of people lived along the Americas coast and major rivers in 1492, but these indigenous people and American Indians were the first discovers, explorers, and pioneers of the New World. They talked about over 600 different languages. The Indian economy from agriculture to the sea, hunters and collectors, Indian craftworkers are good at weaving, sculpture, sculpture and painting. Prior to Columbus the Americas are a vibrant world of life - rich economic culture, complex religious cosmology, complex arts and crafts (Josephy 1994)
