True or False: The Mayans were part of the Pre-Columbian time period.

The Mayans were indeed part of the Pre-Columbian time period, which refers to the history and cultures of the Americas before the arrival of Europeans in the late 15th century. The Mayan civilization thrived in Mesoamerica for centuries, with significant advancements in mathematics, astronomy, architecture, and writing. Their major cities were established much earlier than European contact, reaching their peak during the Classic period (approximately 250-900 CE).

This context confirms that the Mayans made substantial contributions to civilization before European influence. The options that suggest falsehood or ambiguity regarding their classification within the Pre-Columbian era do not accurately reflect historical and archaeological consensus.
