Maya farming villages appeared in southern Mexico and Central America by about 2000 BCE, and by 300 BCE great cities such as El Mirador were building huge pyramids. In the Classic period, from about 250 to 900 CE, dozens of city-states ruled by divine kings flourished in the lowland rainforest, and superpowers such as Tikal and Calakmul fought for dominance through warfare and alliances.
