How Did Blankets Affect The Mayan Way Of Life

The Mayan people had a way of living. Sometimes they had a hard time getting tools, food, and shelter, but they had to use what they had and know that they had to use what they could find. The Mayan people lived in a hot and very humid climate, the rainforest. So it was very hot in the summer, very cold in the winter, and always very rainy. So when it comes winter time they used blankets. Where they lived, had an affect on what they had and what they made because since it could be cold they used yarn to make blankets. And they used yarn because they had quite a bit of it and it was fairly easy to get, though nothing is just easy to get where they were. And how the blankets helped them was they kept them warm in the winter and whenever they

needed to be warmed up. Another adaptation was obsidian arrowheads. Since lived in a humid and hot climate, that had an impact on their lives because obsidian was not the easiest to get but it was easier than most things. And since they lived in a rainforest they had to have weapons to use to kill any predators and to get food. And these arrowheads helped them because it would help them get food and kill someone or something if needed. The final adaptation that helped the Mayans live was they made their clothes out of cotton. And their surroundings affected how and why they did this because they needed something to keep them cool in the summer time and so they made their clothes out of cotton because they had quite a bit of cotton as well so they used what they had and made a living out of what they had. These helped them because if they didn’t have these things they wouldn’t be very successful. They wouldn’t be warm, they would be too hot, and they wouldn’t have the right tools to do what they need. They needed all those adaptations to keep their civilization going.
