02. Power In Small Numbers
An empire is usually expected to consist of a large population. However, this simply wasn’t the case as far as the Mayan people were concerned. They may have been responsible for some of the most impressive structures of the ancient era, but archeologists believe that the Mayan population was a relatively small number.
It is generally agreed upon that there was only between 1 million and 2 million Mayans. This is simply because the landscape couldn’t accommodate for so many people.
