Maya's understanding of the universe and its astronomical achievements made the layout of Mayan cities have a clear sense of orientation, and the urban layout reflected the planning of mature civilization. Mayan polis is not only the administrative center of Mayan kingdom and the residence of royal family, but also the religious etiquette and economic center of polis. The centers of Mayan city-states alternate with each other, and the construction scale and achievements are mainly concentrated in palenque, Copan, Tikal, Smal, Ithaca, Chen Chi, Maya Pan and other sites. The Mayans and Egyptians were keen on building pyramids. The interior of the Egyptian pyramids is hollow and very simple, and there is no decoration on the surface, while the Mayan pyramids have a stepped structure, with temples at the top and generally hollow inside. However, the tomb of King Bakar was also found on the basis of the Pyramid of the Chromium Temple in palenque. Maya have a natural preference for stone buildings, and it takes more time to build buildings with stones. Without a strong religious spirit, it is hard to imagine how so many buildings were completed. It is no wonder that when people see the Mayan ruins with large scale and stone buildings all over the place, they will wonder whether it was done by manpower with the technical and logistical conditions at that time. In Tikal architecture, the religious nature of the building is particularly obvious, and the huge external scale of the building is in sharp contrast with the narrow internal space. Fairy first, it doesn't matter whether people live in it comfortably or not. The surfaces of Mayan buildings are often decorated with gorgeous colors. With the passage of time and the destruction of the tropical rain forest, only some architectural painting traces can be seen vaguely now, and the luster on the surface has disappeared. Maya understood the role of color in their long-term artistic practice. The gorgeous decorative colors on the building make the building stand out in the green tropical jungle, which embodies the glory of the city-state.
