each of these microscopic flecks of pollen contains clues to their identity -- a characteristic shape for each variety of plant. the pollen reveals clear evidence of cornfields. so a majority of the ancient maya, like these farmers today, tilled the soil to support the wealthy few. control of the most fertile bottom lands brought great power to the lords. here on the acropolis, that power was expressed in grand temples and palaces, a carefully constructed stage for royal display. in the maya, we see a pattern of cultural evolution found throughout the world. in the old world, all the great civilizations resulted from efficient forms of agriculture and the monopolization of that wealth by a few. as archaeologists delve ever more deeply into our shared human history, they are discovering that complex civilizations independently arose in similar ways throughout the world. the advent of agriculture propelled many new world societies to greater heights of culture. 300 miles to the west of copan, in mexico, the kingdom of the zapotecs emerged at about the same time as the maya. on a towerin
