Similarities and differences in the rise of Maya and Inca empires

Albeit the Inca and Mayan existing in different times of history it is important to note that, they happened to had few things which were common for both the empires. Among the biggest similarity, the two empires had is the fact that, they both had a very massive control of empires which in the long run ceased to exist (Diamond and J 2009). The Mayans, for instance, occurred earlier in history than the Incas. They occurred from 1000 BC to AD 1697 and according to history, no particular person knows for certain what actually wiped out their incident civilization. Due to their control nature, the Mayans are still nearby today but not as many as they were. While both Maya and Inca practiced farming to a large extent they used different techniques in the process of farming.

For instance, the Maya planted gardens by burning down forests to create a good space for farming. On the other hand, Maya farmed steep slopes areas by building terraces. It's through those terraces that soil erosion was reduced to a great extent and optimum farm production was achieved. The other difference occurred when it came to religion. According to history, the Mayas were the ones which invented technologies such as math, writing, and calendar. Some of this technology was the main breakthrough in some of the modern technology being invented. Invention such technology is still being used up to today and has resulted to be of very significant help to the nature of human beings (Bove and F. J 1970). This kind of invention which was developed by this two types of civilization, however, has evolved and advanced to new ones with advancement in technology but the same criteria are still applied.
