Los mayas ,incas y aztecas
La civilización maya habitó una vasta región denominada Mesoamérica, en el territorio hoy comprendido por cinco estados del sureste de México
Durante ese largo tiempo, en ese territorio se hablaron cientos de dialectos que generan hoy cerca de 44 lenguas mayas diferentes.
Los mexicas
llamados en la historiografía occidental aztecas — fueron un pueblo indígena de filiación nahua que fundó México-Tenochtitlan y hacia el siglo XV en el periodo Posclásico tardío se convirtió en el centro de uno de los Estados más extensos que conoció Mesoamérica asentados en un islote al poniente del Lago de Texcoco hoy prácticamente desecado, sobre el que se asienta la actual Ciudad de México.
Los incas, antiguamente inga
fueron los gobernantes del imperio aborigen más extenso de América precolombina. También eran usados los términos Cápac Inca
El primer sinchi cusqueño en utilizar el título de inca fue Inca Roca, fundador también de la dinastía Hanan Cuzco. El último inca en el gobierno fue Atahualpa. Posteriormente el título es usado por los que opusieron resistencia a la conquista del Imperio inca, como los casos de Manco Inca o Túpac Amaru I.

Christopher Colombus
Christopher Columbus (1451 – 20 May 1506) was a navigator from Genoa, Italy,[1] a colonizer, and explorer, whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean led to general European awareness of the American continents in the Western Hemisphere. With his four voyages of exploration and several attempts at establishing a settlement on the island of Hispaniola, all funded by Isabella I of Castile, he initiated the process of Spanish colonization which foreshadowed general European colonization of the "New World".
Although not the first to reach the Americas from Europe—he was preceded by at least one other group, the Norse, led by Leif Ericson, who built a temporary settlement 500 years earlier at L'Anse aux Meadows[2]— Columbus initiated widespread contact between Europeans and indigenous Americans.
The term "pre-Columbian" is usually used to refer to the peoples and cultures of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus and his European successors.

Mayas
The Mayan buildings were made of wood and stone basically. Among the woods are preferred coba and sapote, being very resistant to termite attacks. Among the stones were used limestone, sandstone, marble, etc..
They performed all types of buildings: palaces rectangular and elongated, temples, ball courts, causeways (sacbeob) linking the main towns, forts, steam baths (temazcal).
Major pyramids are preserved in stone. On top of these stood the temple. They were decorated with paintings of a wide range of colors, and embossing. Some of these are inscriptions of the Maya hieroglyphic writing, not yet fully deciphered. The most important buildings of this period were Copan, Quirigua, Piedras Negras, Palenque and Tikal.

Incas
The center of the Inca Empire was the city of Cuzco - Cuzco today - which was the capital of the empire Tahuantinsuyo, whose foundation was attributed to Manco Capac and it was destroyed by the Spanish to use their churches and residential building materials. Was integrated with Vilcanota River Valley - Urubamba current - called the Sacred Valley to the city of Machu Picchu.
Cuzco was a center surrounded by several peripheral populations, including the great fortress of Sacsahuamán, composed of three levels of walls crowned by a citadel and three large towers made up of large granite blocks properly adjusted.

Aztecas
In the geographical area that corresponds to the southern half of Mexico today, there developed a great cultural activity from about 2000 years a. C. In this region lived in different towns, some of which we have all left their thriving culture, as is the case of the archaeological city of Teotihuacan, and deserted when the Spanish arrived. In the central Mexican plateau from the late seventh century until the mid-twelfth century, the Toltec culture was developed that was to merge with the Maya in their expansion to the Yucatan.
