Government was an important part of the Maya civilization. Priests ran governments, ruled cities, led ceremonies and performed many other jobs.

Maya priests were also the rulers of cities. Everyday they would perform services after climbing the hundreds of temple steps. Maya priests might have caused the collapse of the Maya when the famers got tired of having to obey the commands of the priests and abandoned the cities.

Halch Uinic was the leader of the city-state. He was so important that cloth was held up to his face so people wouldn't be able to speak with him directly. He didnt only controlled the political government but also played a religious role.

Leaders were typically really stupid and were very bad people !
