The Maya society was divided into several classes, including the nobility (including kings, priests, and warriors), commoners (including farmers, merchants, and craftsmen), and slaves. The nobility held the highest status and had privileges such as owning land and overseeing religious ceremonies. Commoners made up the majority of the population and were responsible for farming, trade, and craft production. Slaves were at the bottom of the social hierarchy and were often prisoners of war or individuals who could not pay off debts.
