Question

Now that you've had several weeks of practice framing historical questions and finding sources it's time to start working on your final project officially.

The first step is finding a topic, developing a question, and gathering sources. For this part of the project you will create a bibliography. For your topic you can choose anything you want that falls within the scope of the course (anything from prehistory to around 1600AD).

Instructions

Choose a topic and then develop a research question. Your question will be the title of your bibliography.

Using the tools and websites from the previous modules find five (5) sources:
- Three of them must be primary sources
- One must be a secondary source (most likely a book of some kind)
  - Hint: Each chapter of your textbook has a "Further Reading" section that might provide some help.
- One must be a journal article

Present your bibliography using Chicago Style, including
- listing entries alphabetically by author last name
- Indent each line after the first for every entry.

Grading

This portion of the project is worth 15 points:

The question is worth up to 5 points. Points will be deducted for the question being too vague, too narrow, non-historical, etc.

Each bibliography entry is worth 2 points. Points will be deducted for being irrelevant, non-authoritative, or failing to properly follow Chicago style.
- Note - List your secondary source as a book, not as a website (even if you found the entire book online). Likewise for your journal article. Use the journal article format, not the website format. An article being made available online is not the same as an article that was initially published to a web page.

It is needless to say that the Mayans had a pantheon of numerous steps temples; hundreds of gods, as well as it also offered ritual of blood sacrifices in order to offer the gods. The Lowland civilization of the Mayan started for constructing the dramatic pyramids that begin about in 900 BCE. Moreover, the cultural origins of these civilizations have been extremely uncertain, specifically the connection to the previous Olmec cultures with the Gulf of Mexico (Sparks 2020, 13) . 
	Throwing light on the above-mentioned Mayan culture is one of the most studied civilizations in the entire world. Furthermore, there are certain things that fascinated the researchers such as the astronomy, architecture, math and medicine because all of these are well renowned.
