Explanation:

The pictures above serve to show the architectural prowess of the Maya people before the arrival of the Europeans. They were able to build pyramids and cities and were able to understand astronomy such that they could even predict eclipses.

The Maya were even able to process rubber more than 3,000 years before the process was rediscovered in the 19th century. This therefore showed that Mayan civilization was very much advanced before the Europeans came.
