Detailed explanation-2: -They were built in an oval shape, from wooden poles with clay and mud (wattle and daub). They had a thatched roof, or plants, to keep the rain and snow out. Stone walls were rare. They had one room which they all shared, including the parents, sometimes with a wall to divide the house.
Detailed explanation-3: -They were built from hand-cut limestone blocks and towered over all surrounding structures. Although the temples themselves usually contained one or more rooms, the rooms were so narrow that they could only have been used on ceremonial occasions not meant for public consumption.
Detailed explanation-4: -This family lives in thatched huts called nah in the Maya language. Huts of this same design are still used in parts of Guatemala and in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and Gulf Coast. The roof is thatched and the walls are constructed from upright poles plastered with mud.
