Art: Despite not having metal tools, the Maya were masters of stone sculpture. This is obvious in the many stone carvings on the facades of Maya buildings and on the stelae they used to commerate their kings. Maya art was intimately connected to religion, with most of their artwork serving a religious purpose.
