WHAT PEOPLE ARE CALLED
Belizean
These are English demonyms for people from Belize. A demonym describes a connection to a place; it does not mean everyone shares an ethnicity, language or religion.
Modern borders are a starting point for exploring the past. These cultures and states occupied some of the same land; they were not the same country. Dates describe each civilization or state as a whole, not continuous rule over every place listed.
No single national flag
Maya civilization
Preclassic c. 2000 BCE–250 CE; Classic c. 250–900 CE; later kingdoms continued
Southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and parts of Honduras and El Salvador; many separate polities, not one Maya empire. Maya peoples and cultures continue today.
Royal emblems and glyphs identified particular rulers and cities. No single flag represented this entire civilization.
