Question
Which of the following is not an accurate statement about the Maya during the Classic Period? Group of answer choicesThe Maya region had a very large and dense population.The Maya states were unified into a single empire by the powerful king of Palenque, Pakal the Great.Most Maya states were ruled by powerful priest-kings.The Maya cities created complex systems of reservoir, canals, and dikes, in order to maintain a steady water supply through periods of drought and flooding.
Solution
The statement "The Maya states were unified into a single empire by the powerful king of Palenque, Pakal the Great." is not accurate. During the Classic Period, the Maya civilization was not a single empire, but rather a network of city-states, each with its own ruler. Pakal the Great was indeed a powerful king, but he ruled over the city of Palenque, not a unified Maya empire.
