#2 mayans



Most of the Mayans were farmers. They grew beans, squash and mostly maize (a type of corn).They thought that they were made of maize. Farmers used a variety of agricultural techniques including irrigation channels. They added rich soil from the river beds to elevate the crops over water.farmers used a variety of agricultural techniques including irrigation channels.

Jade was a precious material to the Mayans. They used for beds and for masks to cover the face of  a king. It was used to make jewelry and put inside teeth. They also used it please the gods.
The Mayans built pyramids, like the Egyptians.It was to hold kings and to use for religious purpose. The tallest was the Temple of the Jaguar. It is located in Tikal, one on the Mayan cities.

This a blackbird.It is a type of plane that was on the intrepid.It was used to lead secret attacks in the night.It’s color helps it stay invisable in the night sky.It was used in world war 2.It was very powerful.It has been fighting for
the ship for 8 years.






The hangar deck was used to hold planes and helacopters.This was an important deck because if they were attacked from above then all the planes would be destroied.The piliots were on this deck the most because it is where they get the planes.It led to the back of the ship where the turets are.




1.You could visit 4 decks.The hangar,the mess deck,the third deck,and the galery deck.Each deck is very important to the navy.
