In the technology part, Mayan civilization is really different than other civilization. Their buildings were like a pyramids in Egypt, but more cool. Mayans use different way to built the pyramids. Maya architecture started with a simple temple. The structures were so tightly built that centuries later it was impossible to slip a piece of paper in between the limestones. And Maya had mathematic and calendar. There is some symbols to show the numbers. This is the thing other civilizations didn't have.  

For their calendar, they used their stairs of temple to calendar the days. It is similar to Egypt civilization. But not same!!

In Mayan society, their class system is like ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia civilization.  Kings on the top, slaves in the bottom and priests are under the king.  Mayan have  wet season and dry season, like Indus River civilization.

Mayan civilization has different way to choose their king, they fought to each other, and the most powerful man can be a king.
Mayan civilization had both farming and hunting. Hunting on the highlands and farming in the lowlands. They  grew corn!!
