1. The Mayans had a unique culture. One such thing that I found interesting was the buildings of pyramids and their significance to religion. They viewed pyramids as a mountain to heaven. Also, they had sacred trees that showed a small insight to their religion. It was a visual representation of where one goes when they die. The roots of a tree are underground and depicts the under world and the branches of a tree are high up in the air and depict the heavens. Kings were significant in religion and they decorated themselves with tattoos and piercings to show their divinity but also secular power. Blood shedding rituals were also done by kings to talk to the dead.

Reviving Religion

Reviving Religion: Revivals started in 1800 as a reaction to The Age of Reason. Started the Second Great Awakening which was more effective than the first. Camp-meetings: a group of thousands would go to encampments and listen to preachings all day for several days. Methodist and Baptist gained most followers. Peter Cartwright (1785-1872) was a famous Methodist known for being a very good preacher. Charles Grandison Finney most famous preacher. Led massive revivals in Rochester and NYC in 1830 and 1831. Feminization of religion: women most enthusiastic about religion. Denominational Diversity: What used to be Puritans were now called the "burned over district" Millerites, or Adventists, started in the 1830's and thought the world would end on October 22, 1844.
